Republic of Sudan (1985–2019) in the context of National Congress Party (Sudan)

⭐ Core Definition: Republic of Sudan (1985–2019)

On 6 April 1985, Defence Minister Abdel Rahman Swar al-Dahab seized power from President Gaafar Nimeiry in a coup d'état. Not long after, on 30 June 1989, Lieutenant General Omar al-Bashir, with instigation and support from the National Islamic Front (NIF), overthrew the short lived government in a coup d'état where he ruled as president with the National Congress Party (NCP) until his fall in 11 April 2019. During Bashir's rule, also referred to as Bashirist Sudan, or as they called themselves the al-Ingaz regime, he was re-elected three times while overseeing the independence of South Sudan in 2011. His regime was criticized for human rights abuses, atrocities and genocide in Darfur and allegations of harboring and supporting terrorist groups (most notably during the residency of Osama bin Laden from 1992 to 1996) in the region while being subjected to United Nations sanctions beginning in 1995, resulting in Sudan's isolation as an international pariah.

Republic of Sudan (1985–2019) in the context of National Congress (Sudan)

The National Congress Party (NCP; Arabic: حزب المؤتمر الوطني, Ḥizb al-Mu'tamar al-Waṭanī) was a major political party of ousted Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, it dominated domestic politics in Sudan from its foundation until it was banned following the Sudanese revolution.

After a military coup in 1969, Sudanese President Gaafar Nimeiry abolished all other political parties, effectively dissolving the Islamic parties. Following political transition in 1985, the leader of Islamic Charter Front (ICF), Hassan al-Turabi, reorganised the former party into the National Islamic Front (NIF), which pushed for an Islamist constitution. The NIF ultimately backed another military coup bringing to power Omar al-Bashir, who publicly endorsed the NIF's Islamist agenda. The party structure was composed at the national level of the General Conference, the Shura Council and the Leadership Council, and the Executive Office.
