Angry Without Borders
Angry Without Borders (), also known as Infinitely Angry, is a revolutionary youth group in Sudan, emerging from Sudanese resistance committees pivotal in the 2019 revolution against Omar al-Bashir. Formed by young activists aged 17 to 24, they were disillusioned by the slow political changes and continued military influence. The group became known for confronting security forces during protests and resisting the Transitional Military Council and the October 2021 coup, advocating for a civilian-led transition.
