The Sudan crisisHope for Sudan has quickly dissipated after the transitional military council rejected an Ethiopian plan for a civilian-majority transition government. But the resolve of the Sudanese public has not been shaken by the brutal crackdown led by the Sudanese military on June 3 in Khartoum.

Mediation is necessary, but it will need to be with the objective of opening the path to democratic rule in Sudan.
