This book analyses the failure factors of democratic experiences in Sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on the Republic of Sudan. Through historical comparisons, it aims to further our understanding of democratic African state formation in the aftermath of colonialism, the impact of military coups on undermining democracy in sub-Saharan Africa, the formation and structuring of political parties in the region, and the failures and successes of popular revolutions in establishing good governance. To do so, the author weaves a portrait of the current state of democratic governance in Sudan and the broader sub-Saharan region by threading primary data analysis, such as expert interviews and surveyed participants of the Sudanese revolution, along with their personal reflections and observations on life lived in Sudan. Arguing that the nation is in a state of political crisis, the book posits that Sudan marks a potent example of failing democratic institutions in sub-Saharan Africa in the post-colonial era.
