Expel Bashir from Sudan before he turns against the revolution

Former Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir.

If you’ve read and comprehended history, you know political revolutions usually consume their young in a fit of rage and calumny. That’s why the gallant Sudanese people – who in the last couple of weeks ousted dictator Omar al-Bashir – must be wary of the voracious demon of the revolution.

As a general rule, those at the forefront of a new dawn often never harvest its fruits. That’s because a revolution eats its young. You can’t make it up, or script it. It just happens when stuff comes apart at the seams. Mr Bashir is now in the Kober dungeon. He’s still dangerous. That’s why the revolution is unlikely to be secured unless he’s out of the country, or dead.
