The Sudanese Workers’ Trade Union Federation (SWTUF) is the sole national trade union center in the Sudan.The current SWTUF is a government sponsored trade union federation that was re-organized in 1992 from the original SWTUF which along with all other trade unions was dissolved by Omar Hasan Ahmad al-Bashir when he seized power in 1989.ICTUR reports that the leaders of the dissolved SWTUF were allowed to keep their personal freedom (a concession not afforded to all Sudanese labour unionists) but were restricted from continued activity.
