Sudan: How Did Independent Journalists Defeat the Muslim Brotherhood’s Media Machine?

Sudanese journalist and writer Khaled Abu Ahmed stated that independent news websites played a pivotal role in resisting the corrupt system established by the Islamic Movement (Muslim Brotherhood) in Sudan, stressing that these platforms formed a digital front that stood firm against the massive media machinery employed by Islamists to control public consciousness.

In an article published on Sudanile, Abu Ahmed wrote that “media during the era of the Islamist movement was not a tool for conveying information, but rather an instrument of misinformation and a platform for enforcing obedience.” He pointed out that the regime domesticated print newspapers, monopolized broadcasting, and stripped national issues of their substance in favor of propaganda and ideological dominance.

He explained that websites such as Al-Rakoba and Sudanile became counter-platforms, initially serving as intellectual forums before evolving into tools for investigative journalism and resistance documentation. These sites published documents and testimonies exposing systematic financial and administrative corruption and the takeover of state institutions by regime figures.

He affirmed that these platforms faced attempts at censorship and cyberattacks but endured thanks to public support and the bravery of journalists both inside and outside Sudan. Later, they supported the efforts of the post-revolution “Dismantling Committees” by providing extensive archives used in transitional justice processes.

The journalist continued: “What these platforms offered was not just an alternative form of media, but genuine digital resistance. They preserved the memory of a nation and exposed the false religious veneer that covered the ugliest forms of corruption.” He extended his gratitude to all the journalists, writers, and truth defenders who contributed to this effort.
