Protests and clampdowns bring new transitions as autocrats are pushed out in Algeria and Sudan

Sudan’s military removed the country’s dictator from power on Thursday following months of protests against his 30-year rule, as a wave of popular unrest shakes North Africa that is reminiscent of the 2011 Arab Spring revolts.
President Omar al-Bashir was the second strongman forced from office amid protests this month after President Abdelaziz Bouteflika of Algeria resigned following two decades in power. Protests have also taken place in Tunisia and Morocco in recent months.
