History

The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) was set up clandestinely in Karthoum, Sudan, in October 1989, only three months after the military coup of general Omar al-Bashir which brought the National Islamic Front to power; the NDA, which included all Sudanese oppositional political parties, moved its leadership to Cairo, Egypt, as it was almost impossible to organize any political activities inside Sudan.
