Sudan demonstrates the difference between removing an incumbent and establishing civilian supremacy. Mass civil resistance helped end Omar al-Bashir’s rule, but the security institutions that survived the transition retained autonomous power, and the civilian-military settlement later collapsed. This profile treats organization, coercion, repression, legitimacy, state response, and outcome as historical variables—not moral shorthand.

Coverage class: civil resistance with partial elite/security rupture and failed transition. BuiltToResist does not use violent/nonviolent, armed/unarmed, extremist, insurgent, or legal designation as a credibility or inclusion test. Those fields describe what actors did and how authorities classified them; they do not decide whether the case belongs in the research corpus.
This profile is synthesized from the 2026 Revolutionary Knowledge expansion corpus. Campaign-cycle descriptions are historical research snapshots, not recruitment or tactical guidance. Current legal or political status should be reverified before present-tense reuse.
