Between one coup and another, we are assured that the curse of the civil wars that have haunted the Sudanese people over the past fifty years has no other, oscillating between democracy at times and military rule at other times. This curse has cast a negative shadow over the Sudanese economy as a whole over the years. Because each current has its own economic ideas, principles, and policies, which has caused inconsistency, randomness, and uncertainty in economic policies. Economic policy is an integral part of the public policy of any country, so the Sudanese economy has oscillated according to those policies and ideologies between capitalism, socialism, Islamic ideology, and liberalism. With the passage of time, it has become a field for experiments and intellectual disputes.
Whoever traces the political and economic transformations that Sudan has gone through, it becomes clear to him that the economic ideology in Sudan suffers from the severe contradiction at the conceptual level between what was not intentionally transferred from the Western economic ideology, and what is real. As a result of the reflections of these ideas, the economic mind that leads the Sudan has generally tended to exaggerate abstraction and evade facing the complex problems of economic realities. In a clearer sense, the mentality that led Sudan politically and economically tries to subject these economic facts to its own concepts, which are certainly not subject to the reality of these facts.
If we look at the Sudanese economy in modern history since the beginning of the nineties of the last century, we notice that it witnessed a rise in the growth rate in the mid-nineties from 1994 to 2008 after the entry of oil into the economic cycle of Sudan, but the state was not able to benefit from this boom to maintain the reliability of And the stability of the economy due to confusion and randomness in making economic policies.
Civil conflicts and political conflicts destroyed all that was beautiful within the basket of Arab food, which became a basket of bombs and explosives. You can imagine that the black jewel with two rivers, vast terrain and flats full of nutrients estimated at more than 180 million acres, and the third largest producer of oil and gold in Africa, More than 20 million of his people suffer from hunger. In short, the struggle of the generals has inflicted heavy wounds on the Sudanese people.
