Comedian Hasan Minhaj Talks Sudan

On the latest episode of Patriot Act, Hasan examines the ongoing protests and fight for democracy happening in Sudan. Months after the country’s dictator Omar al-Bashir was ousted in a coup by the Sudanese military, a deadly power struggle has emerged between forces led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemeti) and protesters calling for civilian rule, increased women’s rights, and an end to the brutal militias that have ravaged the African nation. Hasan contemplates what is next for the country in turmoil, and sits down with Sudanese national and protestor Marine Alneel to discuss the ongoing conflict and if democracy can survive in Sudan.
