Be it the activist, protestor, or the family, everyone came together after getting to know about Hussein’s death. His mother stressed the urgent need for the Sudanese leader Abdel-Fattah Burhan “to stop the bloodshed and finally agree on what the youth really wants.

She explained how in this fiasco, which is increasing day after day, negotiation is the only possible solution. The country has been witnessing severe protests for the last three months.

The military coup left the African country once again struggling for democracy or a civilian government and people decided to not let their guards down this time. It was the time when Sudan could focus on strengthening people’s power to vote, to choose, and to have a choice. But the coup killed all of their hopes which only started to arise after the end of autocratic President Omar al-Bashir.
