Sudan government

Sudan is a country located in North-East Africa, and its government has undergone several changes since the nation’s independence from Egypt and Great Britain in 1956. The current government of Sudan is a federal presidential representative democratic republic, established following the signing of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) that ended more than two decades of civil war between north and south Sudan.

The national legislature consists of two chambers: The National Assembly (Majlis Watani), which has 450 members elected by popular vote; and the Council Of States (Majilis Alwali), with 50 members appointed by state governors. Legislative power rests jointly with both houses, though most executive decisions are made unilaterally by President Omar al-Bashir who was reelected for his fourth term in April 2020 after winning 94 percent of votes casted. He had previously assumed office through a military coup d’état on June 30th 1989 during which he overthrew Prime Minister Sadiq al Mahdi’s democratically elected government to become president de facto until being formally inaugurated as president on October 16, 1993 when elections were held under strict military supervision resulting in Bashir’s victory over Dr Hassan Turabi’s Islamic Front Party candidate Mahmoud Muhammad Taha whom Bashir forced out due to ideological differences within the party.

In addition to legislation passed by Parliament or Presidential Decrees issued at will without legislative oversight, there are numerous other forms laws used throughout Sudan such as Sharia Law applied mainly among Muslims living in Northern regions alongside existing local tribal customs practiced primarily amongst Southern populations where Animist faiths still remain dominant despite Christian proselytizing brought about chiefly through British colonial influence prior to 1955 .
