Abstract

The present paper is part of unpublished book divided into three interrelated manuscripts that analyze the collapse of the Sudan. Previous military regime of Nimeiri metamorphosed from pure military coup de etat to puritanical Islamism and improvised the religious ultimate leadership by calling for Bayaa (oath of allegiance) to the Imam (himself). Subsequent coup de etat carried out by NIF (National Islamic Front) that metamorphosed to NCP (National Congress Party) improvised the empowerment system. The latter system legitimized empowerment through creating totalitarian elite, economic manipulation and dogmatic infusion. Suppression was contemporarily inevitable but prolonged bleeding of the economy created revulsion and eventual resistance. Empowerment legalized corruption that triggered a process for the disintegration of the tyrannical regime and national disintegration. A de facto national division generated vacuum of institutional interregnum that catalyzed the failure of the state.
