EHF is committed to making material on Africa’s revolutionary movements available for readers across the continent. We delighted to make available a pamphlet on the extraordinary popular movements that transformed Sudan. Originally published by Mena Solidarity, and reposted here with their kind permission, the pamphlet is a powerful record of Sudan’s struggle.  

Sudan’s revolution is a story of grassroots organising, sacrifice, and unwavering resistance to oppression. From the fight against British colonial rule to the revolutions that toppled military dictatorships, Sudanese workers, women, students, and grassroots movements have led every major battle for freedom.

This pamphlet highlights the mass mobilisations that shook the streets, the role of neighbourhood-based Resistance Committees, and the vital contributions of the workers’ movement. The Emergency Rooms, grassroots initiatives providing lifesaving aid amid the war, embody the resilience of Sudan’s revolutionaries in the face of state and militia violence.

But this fight is not just Sudan’s— it is a battle against the same global system that fuels war, racism, exploitation, and oppression everywhere. International solidarity is not an act of charity but a necessity. The final section provides a guide for trade unionists, activists, and organisations worldwide to take action in support of Sudan’s struggle. The revolution lives on in the streets, in the workplaces, and in the hearts of those who refuse to be silenced. This pamphlet is both a record of their struggle and a call to action.
