Abstract

The article examines the present political crisis against the backdrop of the political development in Sudan since 1953. It is noted that Sudan has experienced two broadly different styles of government since independence. Civilian and military regimes have alternated but neither appears to have been able to resolve the fundamental problems of political stability and economic development. The role of Islam as the major area of disagreement in principle between the Sudanese People's Liberation Movement and the military regime is discussed. (DÜI-Sen)
