The Sudan's three years of political instability,…
1989 CE
The Sudan's three years of political instability, indecisive leadership, short-lived coalitions, and abortive attempts to reach a peaceful settlement with the SPLA culminate on June 30, 1989, when a Revolutionary Command Council for National Salvation (RCC), led by Lieutenant General 'Umar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir, seizes power.
The RCC is in fact the vehicle for the NIF, the political party of the Muslim Brotherhood. (The ascension of this fundamentalist regime will, in a few years, prove fortuitous to bin Laden.)
