To understand Sudan today, we begin with the past. In this opening episode, Alex de Waal traces Sudan’s long cycle of coups, uprisings, and unfinished revolutions. From colonial rule to the fall of Omar al-Bashir. Together, we unpack how power, identity, and resistance have shaped the modern Sudanese state, and why history here never truly stays in the past.
Sudan’s wars are not just about politics or power, they are also about who belongs. Anthropologist Jok Madut Jok guides us through the country’s complex web of ethnicity, language, and region, showing how identity has been weaponised, contested, and reimagined. It’s a conversation about the human dimensions of conflict, and the struggle to imagine a shared Sudanese future.
In 2003. as reports of Janjaweed attacks poured in, Mukesh Kapila then the UN's top official in Sudan found himself at the centre of one of the century's first major genocides. HE reflects on the moral weight of witnessing such an event, and what it means to speak out when silence is safer.
