Abstract
The present paper is part of unpublished book divided into three interrelated manuscripts that analyze the collapse of the Sudan. The current paper concludes that the decision of the International Criminal Court to arrest President Bashir initiated a desire to legitimize his regime through rigging the election of 2010. The result was inevitable secession of its Southern part and the total revulsion of the people of his regime. That triggered a process for the disintegration of a tyrannical regime. The paper discusses how the elections conducted in 2010 were forged. That began a downward process of disintegration catalyzed by his threats of imposing strict Islamic Sharia Laws in the country after the secession of its Southern part. Pronounced and prominent conflicts erupted within the ruling elite. The imposed dogma by a hegemonic regime threatens the existence of the nation per se. The contesting voices demanded rights of sequestered economic resources, violated civil rights and genocides in the country's regions. The result is that the country is in de facto division and disintegration process. The generated vacuum of institutional interregnum enhances the failure of the state.
