Saudi Arabia is working hard to maintain it’s influence in Sudan
Saudi Arabia’s malleable plans for Sudan Saudi Arabia has been steadily increasing its economic and political influence on Sudan, and the fall of Al Bashir’s government did not change that. When the new government was formed, Saudi Arabia deposited $250 million into the central bank of Sudan to support its financial position. Furthermore, RSF leader Mohamed Daglo is a trusted friend and an ally of Saudi Arabia. In May 2019, Daglo met with the Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman and assured him of continued cooperation with Saudi Arabia in their ongoing war in Yemen. However now, as Saudi Arabia finds terms with the Houthis, questions have arisen over what Saudi Arabia’s intentions are in Sudan. The nation’s investment in Sudan has continued, as Saudi Arabia will lend Sudan SAR487m ($130m) to support education and health services, Sudan’s government said, the latest assistance from the kingdom since the North African nation’s army ousted long-time leader Omar al-Bashir in April. The Saudi Fund for Development will provide the loan, the Finance Ministry said Tuesday in a statement. The continued funding could be a continuation of what proved to be a useful tool in Yemen, the guarantee of manpower and military support from Sudan in the event of any Saudi military conflict.

Saudi Arabia’s discreet fight for influence in Sudan: 5 Geopolitical Effects You Need to Know
1. Saudi Arabia sent millions of dollars to Al Bashir Saudi Arabia had appeared to put its money on ousted Sudan president Omar Al Bashir when he was in power, as the former president received millions of dollars from Saudi Arabia, a police investigator has told a court at the start of a corruption trial. Al-Bashir, who is charged with illicit possession of foreign currency and accepting gifts in an unofficial manner, admitted to receiving the $90m in cash from Saudi royals, Brigadier General Ahmed Ali testified on Monday. This is a clear sign of Saudi Arabia’s support for the ousted leader and shows their struggle for influence in Sudan is real. 2. Saudi Arabia deposits $250 million in Sudan central bank Saudi Arabia now appears to be going with the flow in Sudan, as they have decided to monetarily support the newly formed government as well. Saudi Arabia has deposited $250 million into the central bank of Sudan to support its financial position, the Saudi Finance Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday. It is aimed at alleviating pressure on the Sudanese pound and achieving stability in its exchange rate, the ministry said. However, in light of the latest news of payments to Al Bashir, their true intentions seem much deeper than that, as the intent to gain a say in the country’s political future, and eventually, exploit its resources.

Has the unrest in Sudan finally come to an end? 5 Geopolitical Effects You Need to Know
1. Sudan finally signs power-sharing deal After months of military rule and pro-democracy protests after the Al Bashir government was overthrown, Sudan’s military and civilian leaders signed a landmark power-sharing deal at a joyous ceremony in the capital, Khartoum, on Saturday, signalling a new chapter in the life of the African country. “We’re putting everything on this,” said Mohamed Azhary, one of many young doctors who took to the streets to oust Mr. al-Bashir. “People are feeling optimistic, but there’s a lot of mixed feelings, too. We are praying for the best.” It is clear that there is a lot of optimism surrounding the new deal, and it is said that this is a positive stepping stone to a more prosperous future for the population of Sudan, which remains to be seen, considering the significant political, economic and social challenges it faces. 2. A step closer to democracy but obstacles remain While the latest agreement is undoubtedly a positive step towards democracy, there are still many obstacles to be overcome. While the civilian opposition put forward Ahmed Al-Rabee, a schoolteacher earning the equivalent of around $33 a month and emblematic of the economic hardship faced by professionals amid Sudan’s institutional corruption, The TMC put forward the feared Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known simply as Hemedti. This has brought fear of unpredictability and instability of the newly formed government, as Hemedti was Al Bashir’s right-hand man, as well as blamed for brutal treatment of protesters. Only time will tell.

What are Sudan’s prospects after Omar Al-Bashir?
Political uncertainty reigns in Sudan since the ousting of former President Omar al-Bashir, who had been ruling the country as a dictator for almost 30 years. The Transitional Military Council who deposed him is now facing pressure from the crowd to transfer power to a fully civilian government. In this complex situation, Sudan remains a poor and fragile country keen to plunge into instability and possibly armed conflict.
