Abstract:This article deals with the rise, the decline and the collapse of democracy in the Sudan and gives an answer to the following questions: What happened in those crisis months from about May to November, 1958; How did the democratic regime fall without a murmur of public protest; How was it that the best, who had seen their independence realized with the coming of democracy, their country proudly holding the torch as the one Arab country with free elections, a free labour movement, and freedom from corruption, felt that civil liberties and civil peace were in conflict with one another; What lesson is there in the recent events for other territories.
