Following the popular uprising in Sudan which saw the overthrow of the Sudanese Dictator Omar Al-Bashir and the launch of the democratic transition in the country, the prospects for democracy have been in question i the lead up to elections. After the imprisionment of Sudanese PM Abdallah Hamdok and the military take over, thousands of Sudanese are declaring the transition over and calling for immediate democratic rule. With the uniqueness and fragility of these dynamics, it's surprising the US is not stepping up in its actions to ensuring sustainable peace and democratic processes being upheld. Is the US missing an opportunity to prove Biden's statement that "America is back"? Should the US get more involved and what should it do?
We speak with Democratic and Electoral Transitions Professional Sherif Alaa in Khartoum and Dr Sharath Srinivasan of Cambridge University and author of When Peace Kills Politics to discuss more.
