The last quarter of 2021 was a turbulent one for Sudan, the aftershocks of which continue until now. In October, the civilian sections of the government were divided over which course to follow. On October 25, Sudan’s military seized power in a coup d’état, placing civilian Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok under house arrest. In western Sudan, insecurity increased and in the eastern part of the country sea ports and roads were blocked by the High Council of Beja Nazirs who demand the cancellation of the Eastern Sudan protocol of the October 2020 Juba Peace Agreement.
