Geographic phases of diffusion of December 2018 revolution in Sudan

Abstract EN

This research is exploratory and inductive in nature works to investigate the geographic phases of diffusion of December 2018 revolution in Sudan with emphasis on its geographic sequential setting and geographic decay.

the sources of data were the observed and recorded events of the revolution during the period of December 2018 up to June 2022, as well as the published relevant literature.

expert-observations and live-experience by the author were basic tools for data collection and spatial analysis.

exploration and scrutiny of data showed that, progressive spatial developments of the revolution and its geographic transmissions were not geographically contagious and geographic centers for diffusions were not necessarily neighbored; however, they were unevenly and discretely dispersed over the geographic space of Sudan’s and the world’s map.

there were obvious geographic sequential settings of December 2018 revolution, as well as a witnessed geographic decay which was coincided with sit-in breaks up.

this has diminished the revolution from a wide geographic domain to a narrow domain in Khartoum State, and further to a narrower domain in some old residential areas in Khartoum towns.

these old residential areas exhibited localized revolutionary expressions and verified place contents of limitation, tangency, location privileges, transboundary linkages, and enhancement by human constructs.

the geography of December 2018 needs to be assessed for scrutiny of political and socioeconomic conditions of Sudanese communities.
