Abstract
In spite of the numerous challenges it faces (including a traumatic split), Sudan has not yet fallen to the domino effect of Arab revolutions. However, Sudan has not just one but two experiences from which to draw lessons about the conduct of successful peaceful popular revolutions against entrenched despots. In both instances the revolutions (in 1964 and 1985) came well ahead of similar waves of revolutionary fervour elsewhere, and they were extremely ‘low-tech’ and rather local affairs, not benefiting from new media, international trends or external pressure. This paper offers a close analysis of Sudan's remarkable revolutionary heritage, and asks what lessons it throws up for the present.
