The Sudanese Communist Party (SCP) is a communist party in Sudan. During the 1960s, it was the only party popular throughout the country because it recruited both Muslims and Christians.[1] Since the 2019 Sudanese coup, many of its members have been arrested by the military junta.[2]
History[edit | edit source]
Communist organizing in Sudan can be traced back to the period after the First World War, while Sudan was under a condominium of joint colonial rule by Britain and Egypt.[3]:13 In 1945, two communist groups merged to form the Sudanese Movement for National Liberation.[3]:15 In 1956, the Sudanese Movement for National Liberation held its third conference and adopted a new constitution and changed its name to the Sudanese Communist Party.[3]:21
Repression[edit | edit source]
The SCP supported Jafaar Nimeiry's 1969 coup against a military junta, but Nimeiry's government attacked the party afterwards. He executed its leaders, including Abdel al-Khaliq, Joseph Garang, and Ahmed al-Sheikh. The Soviet Union tried to negotiate for asylum for the SCP's leaders but failed.[1]
In May 2022, General Secretary Muhammad al-Khatib and Politburo member Salih Mahmoud were arrested by the military after returning from South Sudan.[2] They were released on May 20.[4]
