Witnessing the Birth of a Revolution
Al Jazeera.net painted the whole picture, showing the world how the Sudanese people staged sit-ins and seized every occasion to maintain the momentum of their revolution. Soon after it had begun, the Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA) jumped on the bandwagon and took the lead, steering it under the slogan ‘Freedom, Peace & Justice’. The fledgling political entity, which was once doubted by many, led rallies towards the Presidential Palace demanding the president step down. That goal was achieved on April 11, 2019. Al Jazeera dissected the SPA in depth, producing a report titled ‘An Inspiring Leader’ to tell the world all about it. Al Jazeera covered all of the milestones in the revolution and beyond. From the million-man march to the negotiations between the Forces of Freedom and Change and the Military Council, Al Jazeera was always in the thick of it – second by second, minute by minute, recording the pulse of the people and telling the story as it happened. We documented in words as well as images how the Sudanese people harvested the fruits of their revolution; signing the transition-to-democracy agreement. We carried their voice to the world; something many told me they were grateful for.
