A train carrying protesters from Atbara, the birthplace of an uprising that toppled Sudan's former President Omar al-Bashir, approaches a Khartoum train station.
It took another four months for the military, which had ousted Bashir, to formally agree to a three-year power sharing deal with aPeople in Atbara, a colonial-era railway hub, support the national government in the capital some 350 km to the south, but say some of the main grievances which drove their uprising – poor salaries and unemployment – remain.
Able to meet freely since bans on gatherings were lifted with Bashir’s fall, they discuss issues such as how to create jobs for the youth by trying to find farmland to grow crops. Maps entitled “Sudan railways” still hang on walls in administrative buildings where receipts printed in English and Sudanese lie on abandoned desks.
The United States says it hopes to be able to lift sanctions imposed in 1993 over allegations Bashir’s Islamist government supported terrorism, so that donor money can flow.
