Dr. W.A. Madibo
Sudan Policy Forum

By creating an authoritarian mode of class and racial control, and enforcing structural impediments to women and youth socio-economic development, the Sudanese state has failed to be the premier embod- iment of the unity of the people and the custodian of their hopes. Experience has shown that the system cannot be reformed only through appeals of moral suasion that the suppressed makes to the suppressor, nor is force a sufficient or viable alternative. using persuasive as well as coercive measures is necessary’ but not sufficient. To make governance dynamic in a transitional stage, key players need to revise poli- cies that have a disproportionately higher effect on one group than upon others; they need to create a logical framework for the system to remain rational and humane; as well form a coalition of progressive forces and reformist demands that can support the development of practical solutions. Resolving the dilemma of underdevelopment has more to do with changing our mind set than with changing our insti- tut ional setup. Interpreting society precedes changing it. Making governance dynamic is facilitated by our understanding of the moral philosophy with which society works: Is it 'economy of scale' or 'moral economy, that drives society? At what stage do political leaders decide to capture the periphery consum- er market and with what means? As uprooting hegemony and exploitative economic relations remains the most viable option but the least favourable, at least so far.
