Letter Published in The National UAE on 2July 19 Sudan needs a government that serves its peopleI write in reference to your article Sudan crisis: Seven dead as protesters march on defence ministry(June 30): Hamza Handawi’s article on the protests in Sudan was a good read. Decades of dictatorship and little development made the Sudanese demand a change in government (which caused the ousting of Omar Al Bashir) and the ongoing crisis is succinctly analysed in this piece. News that civilian protesters were killed by soldiers and many more were injured is tragic. It is high time for Sudan to have an elected government to properly serve its people. It is unlikely the protests will yield until that occurs.K Ragavan, Bengaluru
