The children of Sudan's revolution are looking to the future
Omar al Bashir ruled Sudan for thirty years, surviving civil wars, the secession of South Sudan, and even an indictment by the International Criminal Court. He was brought down in April by peaceful protests provoked by anger about the state of the economy and decades of repression.
