In April 2019, The 30 year reign of Sudan’s Omar al-Bashir came to an end. Like previous Sudanese leaders, he was finally toppled by the army, which finally sided with the people over the president.

The country of Sudan itself, has had 15 coup attempts, five of them successful – more than any other country on the continent of Africa. One of them was the 1989 military coup that brought Omar al-Bashir to power.

It was al-Bashir's ability to play a skillful combination of internal and external balancing acts, plus ruthless repression as well as a divided opposition, that kept al-Bashir in power for three decades.

But eventually, it was something as simple and essential as the price of bread that lit the fuse to a challenge to his entire regime and the downfall of his rule of Sudan in 2019.

In this episode of African Biographics, we look at the rise and fall of Sudan’s Omar al-Bashir.
