KHARTOUM - In Sudan’s capital Khartoum, a hip-hop producer who had his equipment seized during anti-government protests last year is now free to mix tracks in his studio.
The overthrow of Omar al-Bashir’s Islamist regime last April and the melting away of its morality police have led to an easing of onerous social constraints, allowing women to dress more freely and opening up more space for cultural activities. “It will take time, but what’s new after the revolution is that there is hope and that things can change, and it is in our hands to change the things we see as wrong.”
“Before the revolution our shows were inside specific, appropriate places,” said Anita Saimon, a young dancer with the Voice of Nuba troupe, after an impromptu roadside rehearsal under a giant billboard for a recently opened Kentucky Fried Chicken branch. DJs play at public parties in Khartoum where men and women can mix freely. A book fair without political censorship and even a women’s soccer league have been staged in recent months. Many women say the uprising has allowed them to wear what they want.
Activists say progress is uncertain under a power-sharing deal between the military and civilian groups due to last until late 2022.
