Sudanese Sovereignty Council (1964–1965)
The Second Sudanese Sovereignty Council (3 December 1964–10 June 1965) emerged as a result of the October 1964 Revolution, a popular uprising against the military dictatorship of General Ibrahim Abboud. Background Abboud's regime, which came to power after 1958 Sudanese coup d'état, was marked by authoritarian rule and economic mismanagement. The Sudanese people, frustrated with their living conditions and political repression, took to the streets demanding change. The October 1964 Revolution, also known as the October Revolution, was a series of protests and demonstrations that eventually forced General Abboud to step down from power. The revolution began with student-led demonstrations in the city of Wad Madani, Wad Medani, triggered by the government's decision to increase prices of basic commodities. The protests quickly spread to other cities, including Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. Formation As the revolution gained momentum, a transitional period emerged, marked ...

Democratic Unionist Party (Sudan)
The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP; ), also referred to by itself as the Original Democratic Unionist Party, is a political party in Sudan, closely tied to the Khatmiyya Sufi order. Established in 1952 as the National Unionist Party (NUP), it is one of two political parties predating Sudan's independence, along with the Umma Party. Founded by Mohammed Uthman al-Mirghani II's Khatmiyya order and Ismail al-Azhari's urban nationalist Ashigga Party (est. 1943), it is often considered Sudan's oldest political party. Having won a clear majority in Sudan's first parliamentary election, al-Azhari became Sudan's first prime minister, who in 1955 declared independence from colonial rule. The party broke apart in 1956, with the Khatmiyya order founding the new People's Democratic Party (PDP), but reunited in 1967, resulting in the current name. In 1986, DUP leader Ahmed al-Mirghani became President of Sudan until ousted by Omar al-Bashir's military coup in 1989. While the party's of ...

Provisional Governments
A provisional government, also called an interim government, an emergency government, a transitional government or provisional leadership, is a temporary government formed to manage a period of transition, often following state collapse, revolution, civil war, or some combination thereof. Provisional governments generally come to power in connection with a grave crisis that has caused the previous government to suddenly and irreversibly collapse, such as economic collapse, civil war, Debellatio, defeat in a foreign war, revolution, or the death of a long-serving authoritarian ruler. Questions of democratic transition and state-building are often fundamental to the formation and policies of such governments. Provisional governments maintain Power (social and political), power until a new government can be appointed by a regular political process, which is generally an election. They may be involved with defining the legal structure of subsequent regimes, guidelines related to huma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
