Ahmed Haroun, head of the dissolved National Congress Party, has given a long interview to media figure Rabie Siraj on the Sudan Podcast after a long absence from the political scene. The conversation was framed as an attempt to break a wall of silence and to reopen questions about power, the state, war and the future of the political process. In an article by Ibrahim Shaglawi, the interview is described as direct in dealing with files that have remained suspended.
