On April 11, Omar al-Bashir was ousted after a 30-year-reign as Sudan’s president.
The military carried out a takeover against him after months of popular protests, with citizens demanding a democratic transition.
This led to widespread euphoria for Sundanese living both home and abroad.
Here are some videos:
