In Sudan, a political transition is underway; political protests that began with grievances over the increase of prices for basic food staples has led to the removal of President al-Bashir from office. Al-Bashir is currently imprisoned while the military is leading the government in the interim. It is unclear whether the military-led government will allow for the transition to a civilian-led democracy. Meanwhile, South Sudan is still attempting to attract more foreign investment in order to boost its crude oil production and bring much-needed revenue, but the country has yet to resolve issues regarding security and stable governance.
