The Sudanese Communist Party (SCP) is a communist party in Sudan. During the 1960s, it was the only party popular throughout the country because it recruited both Muslims and Christians.[1] Since the 2019 Sudanese coup, many of its members have been arrested by the military junta.[2]

Repression

The SCP supported Jafaar Nimeiry's 1969 coup against a military junta, but Nimeiry's government attacked the party afterwards. He executed its leaders, including Abdel al-Khaliq, Joseph Garang, and Ahmed al-Sheikh. The Soviet Union tried to negotiate for asylum for the SCP's leaders but failed.[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]
