Sudan: Coup Against Public Liberties

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Sudan, Freedom of Speech, Human Rights, Media & Journalism

Osman Shinger examines the uncertain future of media freedom in Sudan [1]: “Journalists and rights activists have expressed concern about diminishing press freedom in Sudan. Reporters attribute their pessimism to what they call a “coup” against public liberties. Chief among their concerns is the press freedom that was stipulated in the 2005 peace agreement, whose duration concluded with South Sudan’s independence that took effect on 9 July.”
