In this month's Governance Uncovered, we talk to the political scientist Liv Tønnessen about the recent military coup in Sudan and the economic, cultural, and political history leading up to it. Liv is a senior researcher at CMI and Director of the Center on Law and Social Transformation. She has a track record from the Middle East and Northern Africa, with long-term stays in Sudan, Lebanon, and Syria. Liv has specialized in Sudanese politics for more than a decade and has conducted extensive fieldwork in the country. She has also been a lecturer at Ahfad University for Women and held numerous lectures for regional universities in the west, east, and south of Sudan, which has given her a wide network of contacts within Sudanese academia, politics, and civil society. In addition, her work has involved long-term collaboration with several research institutions and research partners in Sudan. In this episode, we'll discuss regional disparities and political instability in today's Sudan. Selected work: Imam, Ayesha.
