The end of the SSU's political monopoly, coupled with rampant corruption at all levels of government, cast increasing doubt on Nimeiri's ability to govern Sudan. To preserve his regime, Nimeiri adopted a more dictatorial leadership style. He ordered the [[General Intelligence Service (Sudan)|State Security Organisation]] to imprison without trial thousands of opponents and dissidents. Nimeiri also dismissed or transferred any minister or senior military officer who appeared to be developing their own power base. Nimeiri selected replacements based on their loyalty to him rather than on their abilities. This strategy caused the president to lose touch with popular feeling and the country's deteriorated political situation.<ref name=":0" />

The events of 1983 marked a pivotal moment in Sudanese history, showcasing the interconnectedness of Islamization and concerns over Islamic dominance in the country. This relationship led to significant political implications, exemplified by key incidents. The year saw the eruption of a second civil war in May 1983, following southern troops' mutiny, and Numayri's declaration of the sharia as state law in September 1983. These events were driven by various factors, including southerners' disappointment over unfulfilled agreements, particularly in terms of economic development and oil discoveries in the south. Numayri's growing reliance on the Islamic right-wing political agenda exacerbated tensions and ultimately culminated in the transformational events of 1983. Numayri's Islamization efforts were not sudden; they had roots dating back to the post-1976 coup attempt, which marked his personal reconnection with Islam. By 1977, a committee was working to align Sudanese law with the sharia, and the Muslim Brotherhood was gaining influence in university student political groups. While legislative attempts to Islamize the law through the People's Assembly were met with resistance, the mutiny of southern forces in 1983 changed the political landscape. This led to the founding of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) and Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) in 1984, both seeking the removal of the sharia.<ref name=":3">{{Cite journal |last=Fluehr-Lobban |first=Carolyn |date=1990 |title=Islamization in Sudan: A Critical Assessment |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/4328193 |journal=Middle East Journal |volume=44 |issue=4 |pages=610–623 |issn=0026-3141}}</ref>
