The ouster of Sudanese strongman Omar al-Bashir by the country’s military yesterday following months of unrest has had a mixed reception in the Arab world, with assorted rulers shaking in their shoes. One leader in particular, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, will be watching closely how the transition of power pans out.
The junta said it has taken Bashir into custody, suspended the constitution and will run the country for a two-year transitional period with elections to follow.
