The Sudanese Communist Party (SCP) is a communist party in Sudan. Since the 2019 Sudanese coup, many of its members have been arrested by the military junta.
Repression
The SCP supported Jafaar Nimeiry's 1969 coup against a military junta, but Nimeiry's government attacked the party afterwards.[1]
In May 2022, General Secretary Muhammad al-Khatib and Politburo member Salih Mahmoud were arrested by the military after returning from South Sudan.[2] They were released on May 20.[3]
