    A HISTORY WRITTEN IN REVOLT

    To understand Sudan today, we begin with the past. In this opening episode, Alex de Waal traces Sudan’s long cycle of coups, uprisings, and unfinished revolutions. From colonial rule to the fall of Omar al-Bashir. Together, we unpack how power, identity, and resistance have shaped the modern Sudanese state, and why history here never truly stays in the past.

    THE FRACTURES OF IDENTITY

    Sudan’s wars are not just about politics or power, they are also about who belongs. Anthropologist Jok Madut Jok guides us through the country’s complex web of ethnicity, language, and region, showing how identity has been weaponised, contested, and reimagined. It’s a conversation about the human dimensions of conflict, and the struggle to imagine a shared Sudanese future.
