A Sudanese gathering outside the country proposes a third way

Given the chaos and terror that now prevail, it was a small logistical miracle that the organisers managed to gather 600 or so Sudanese delegates under one roof. Previous such meetings of groups claiming to represent Sudan’s people have been criticised for merely assembling the usual elites to stand up for little more than their own selfish interests. So Mr Hamdok’s team went to enormous lengths to embrace the broadest spectrum of Sudanese oufits, based both at home and abroad.
