Can Egypt and Tunisia Trigger Sudan Protests?


As the students recently initiated protests in Sudan blaming government of rising prices and repressive rule, Sudanese people are afraid that these protest in Egypt and Tunisia can spread to their countries.
All people are curious whether the protest in Egypt and Tunisia will have a domino effect and trigger the protests in Sudan.

As far as it seems, President Omar Hassan Al-Bashir is so popular among his people as he has a anti-Western stance, so people want him to be in force. Although he is wanted by International Criminal Court, he is the president of the state and this situation even forces his hand. But, he was in alliance with the West, as he expelled  Osama Bin Laden from the country and handed out Carlos the Jackal and worked cooperatively with Washington.
Sudan, on the other hand, has many economical problems. Society is divided into pieces by tribalism.
For the time being, many Sudanese are watching TVs and listening to radios to learn the situation in Egypt and Tunisia. The case in these countries will shape the decisions of Sudanese whether to go for broke or not. But a successful case in Egypt can trigger the next protest in Sudan.
