What Does “TASGOT BAS” Mean?

” TASGOT BAS ” is a phrase in Arabic which mean in English is ” just fall, that’s all” which is a clear demand to Omar Al-Bashir to leave his position as the President of Sudan. On 19 December 2018, the Sudanese people decided to end the deteriorating situation in the country by going out in marches and demonstrations condemning the government and the deterioration of freedoms and economic and political conditions throughout Sudan.

The story of the famous phrase “Tasgot Bas” began with a comment on a post on Facebook when the government began cutting the Internet off people when one guy comments on his girlfriend post saying “that the internet is going down”, saying “A government that divides me from you, ” TASGOT BAS”

Now the Protests still in the riot at the same place, after some suspicious action is done by the military by not giving the President and his partners to the court or show evidence that he is really in detention. People decide they won’t leave until all their demands achieved.
