OK

Did you read that the military or police harrashed them?


Try this in Nigeria and see the military and police will declare you a terrorist, then see how they will use you guys as shooting pratice
In Sudan at least there was harrasment by the Armed forces...

They only ceased their harassment over the last few days. Even then, the Sudanese equivalent of our DSS was still active against protesters as at yesterday.

Same way all the people on the first row were swept away by the Arab Spring.


The man on the extreme right was chased away not too long after.

Sudan President Omar al-Bashir was removed by the military, Omar al-Bashir has been Sudan's President since 1989,he was removed by the military. but the protest was started by a Woman- Ala’a Salah. This cannot happen in the current Nigeria, because the ladies prefer to be slay Queens, Youths prefer to be Yahoo Boys and the Govt is ready to open fire in a peaceful protest.

Abdelaziz Bouteflika of Algeria and Omar al-Bashir of Sudan are gone, both were forced to resign by protesting youths. The destiny of any nation lies in the youths, the same cannot be said of Nigeria. The youths of this country have lost it.

In Nigeria protests are sponsored by some ppl in the opposition, that's why it will never work here. Check this Sudan case, citizens sponsored themselves, they didn't collect money or support the protest based in their ethnicity, it was purely common sense national interest to them. The only protest we had that was close was the subsidy protest but in the end, some ppl jeopardized it and we lost.

Algeria and Sudan are different from Nigeria.

Algeria has had a president who spent 20 years in power...and was always changing the laws to give himself extra terms.

Sudan had Omar Al Bashir, who took power in a coup, transformed himself into a civilian president, and also kept himself in power by continued elongation.

Then throw in the fact that the opposition has been divided.


Nigeria?... Since we had democracy come back in 1999...the only leader who has tried tenure elongation is Obasanjo...and we know that he lost out. Even his own supporters refused to back him.

GEJ...if he had won in 2015, would have retired by now.

Buhari has basically indicated that he is going by 2023.

Nigeria is a mess....but when it comes to democracy, we are better than some other countries.
I agree wholeheartedly.

Sorry bro, you are wrong

simply say that's how to know a country that has not been hijacked, where citizens makes the decision, unlike here in naija you can't protest peacefully without being harassed by the leaders.

Take a close look at the crowd in the pix, if they are been shot randomly by security/military men, they won't be able to gather in that large number in protest.

What about Abdelfatah el sisi of Egypt, he's also a field marshal

Mubarak was an Air Chief Marshal. The highest rank in the Air Force is marshal of the Air Force (equivalent to Field Marshal)

Tantawi who took over from Mubarak and preceeded Morsi was a Field Marshal. He organised elections after the Arab Spring and handed over to Morsi.

Same with El Sisi

Omar al-Bashir steps down - Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir has reportedly stepped down after months of protests, government sources reveal.

A military council is expected to replace him.

On Thursday, anti-government protesters marched through the streets of Khartoum chanting anti-Bashir slogans.

Protesters outside the defence ministry chanted:

"It has fallen, we won."

Sudan has been rocked by months of anti-government protests. Bashir would be the second leader in Africa to quit amid nationwide protests this month, following Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's resignation, reports Bloomberg.

Earlier Thursday there were reports of military vehicles surrounding the presidential palace as well as the TV building.

Sudan state television said on Thursday that the armed forces would make an important announcement soon, amid speculation that a coup attempt could be underway against President Omar Al Bashir following months of protests against his 30-year rule.

What you need to know is the political environment over there is different from Nigeria. The voice of the people are united against 30 years misrule. Is there any issue Nigerian are united against that will never be subjected to religious or tribal sentiments?

Excellent.

Same way African countries have their own system of government n rule themselves. Each country have their own system of government, democracy isn't the best system of government.

Sudan have their own system n have been organizing their elections.


Meanwhile Nigeria who have been do it 4 year democracy isn't better developed than sudan
