An Eye Into the Present and Future of Sudan

YOUTH CITIZENS OBSERVER NETWORK

We are a group of Sudanese youth, many from civil society organizations and resistance committees across Sudan, who are interested in civilian monitoring and peacebuilding. We have formed a network, the Youth Citizens Observers Network (YCON), to support the democratic transition in Sudan by activating the role of youth monitoring locally. Our vision is to build a transparent social democracy through civil oversight monitoring and to strengthen the principle of good governance in Sudan. Our message is to empower youth to be the foundation and guarantee of building a democracy that achieves freedom, peace, and justice in Sudan.

Mechanisms

Our mechanisms involve coordinating with various youth components on how to work together to solve localization problems and transfer ownership to local peacebuilders, particularly in closing civic and observation spaces during Sudan’s transition.
