Barbara Casciarri, Abdalbasit Saeed, Translated by Hancock Hutton “”It all started with Bread-and-Butter Issues”. Interview with Abdalbasit Saeed about 2019 Sudanese Revolution”, in Politique africaine Volume 158, Issue 2, April 2020, pages 175 to 186

This interview, conducted by Barbara Casciarri, a researcher in Sudan for thirty years, with Abdalbasit Saeed, a Sudanese anthropologist, focuses on key moments of the uprising that began in December 2018 and that led to the fall of the regime in April 2019.
