After joining the Abraham Accords in 2020, Khartoum is again in the grip of Islamists.
Sudan’s steps toward normalizing relations with Israel in 2020 were part of a brief but promising moment when the country seemed poised to escape decades of brutal Islamist despotism. Since then, writes Dan Diker, the popular uprising that forced out one tyrant has been undone by a military coup with deep Muslim Brotherhood ties. The regime is now working hand in hand with Iran further to destabilize the Red Sea region.
