It is likely that there will be a mutiny among a large part of the Sudanese armed forces, followed by the overthrow of the Islamic fundamentalist government, according to the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), Sudan's main opposition force. NDA now plans to spark off a popular uprising in towns and cities across northern Sudan, and expects to receive military support for this move. The north has been particularly badly affected by war, price rises and human rights abuses.
