Sudan
Index
Before the 1989 coup, Sudan had a lively press, with most
political parties publishing a variety of periodicals. In
Khartoum, twenty-two daily papers were published, nineteen in
Arabic and three in English. Altogether, the country had fiftyfive daily or weekly newspapers and magazines. The RCC-NS banned
all these papers and dismissed more than 1,000 journalists. At
least fifteen journalists, including the director of the Sudan
News Agency and the editor of the monthly Sudanow, were
arrested after the coup. Since coming to power, the RCC-NS has
authorized the publication of only a few papers and periodicals,
all of which were published by the military or government
agencies and edited by official censors. The leading daily in
1991 was Al Inqadh al Watani (National Salvation).
