Representatives of the delegation summarized the events in Sudan and the transition to democracy as follows: “The struggle for freedom that had been going on since December 2018 has resulted in the removal of Omar al-Bashir from power on April 11, giving 500 young martyrs and thousands of wounded. A military council was established.

They agreed with the opposition to form a civilian government. Thus, the people who set out with the slogans of justice, peace, freedom and democracy reached the happy end on 17 August 2019 and ensured the unity of Sudan in democracy. ”

We are a community of Sudanese living in Turkey that supports the transition to democracy in Sudan. We would like to thank the Yeni Asya Foundation for sharing our happiness and allowing us to come together. Together, we will contribute to strengthening democracy in Sudan in the new process.
