It’s exceedingly hard to trace the origin of anarchist anti-politics in Sudan. Members of the South African ZACF used to send french language trade union journals to a contact in Khartoum in the 2010s, so perhaps that might be the origin? But who knows, really. The first group to openly affirm anarchist politics are the Sudanese Anarchist Gathering.
The Sudanese Anarchist Gathering formed in 2018 during the December Revolution. They are a group of young women and men that met during demonstrations and in universities despite political repression against student organising. They were supported by several anarchist groups and maintained a line of communication with firstly, the IFA, then the Anarkismo network and now the CNT-AIT, who we refuse to work with on account of them being anarcho zionists, you can read more on that here.
We don’t know the SAG’s position on the politics of the CNT-AIT but to not infantilize them or to condemn them for their silence, we will no longer be sharing the fundraiser run by the CNT-AIT.
As such, this page will now serve as an archive of anarchism and revolution in Sudan.
