Sudan: revolution of the 3%?
I’m impressed with how many of the protesters in Sudan own cars. Just this morning on the CBC news we heard that protesters were coordinating the tooting of their car horns to the rhythm of protest chants. What a heart-warming story! I wonder if that’s a resistance strategy promoted by one of those “civil society” initiatives the Nations of Virtue are forever pushing on the lesser peoples?
Car caravans of protesters are ubiquitous in media coverage of the protests.
This imagery seems at odds with common perceptions of Sudan as one of the worlds’ most pathetic economic basket cases. So I looked up the vehicle ownership stats for Sudan.
Sudan has 33 cars per thousand population. Canada has over 600 per thousand. Obviously, Sudan’s elite are spearheading the move to dump Omar al-Bashir.
Here’s a list of projects the US government’s NGO the National Endowment for Democracy has funded in Sudan over the last twenty years or so;
