- Title
The police of the Sudan.
- Authors
Ibrahim, Ammar Mohamed Elbagir
- Abstract
The police force is one of the oldest institutions in modern Sudan. Since its establishment, political instability and internal armed conflicts have beset the country. Security problems and political instability have played a determining role in putting a centralised and militarised model of policing. Depending on archive materials and other sources, this article uses the historical approach to trace how centralised and military ideas have affected the police structure, role and practice. The impact of these ideas has contributed in establishing authoritarian model of policing rather than a professional one. Restoring peace and stability is a fundamental factor in any long-term plan of police reform.
