Episode Synopsis

Today on Accent of Women we turn our focus to Sudan. On October 25, the Sudanese military carried out a coup, announcing the dissolution of the power-sharing Sovereignty Council and the transitional government. It arrested Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and declared a state of emergency. Since that time, there have been massive street protests, in fact, it is a revolutionary situation on ground there. There’s been a media and internet black out for almost three weeks, making it very difficult to obtain information, and convey to the protesters all of the support there is for their struggle.
