Sudan Ends 30 Years of Islamic Law by Separating Religion, State​

(Bloomberg) –

Sudan’s transitional government agreed to separate religion from the state, ending 30 years of Islamic rule in the North African nation.

Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and Abdel-Aziz al-Hilu, a leader of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North rebel group, signed a declaration in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, on Thursday adopting the principle.

“For Sudan to become a democratic country where the rights of all citizens are enshrined, the constitution should be based on the principle of ‘separation of religion and state,’ in the absence of which the right to self-determination must be respected,” the document states.

Their former dictator, al Bashir was considered pretty terrible. On lists one can find of “Africa’s worst dictators” (yes, such lists exists on the web), he will make the top 10. Genocide in Darfur use to be something you heard about a lot? It sounds like it had quite a bit to do with him. Al Bashir also did not like us, the USA.

Al Bashir in fact, is right now, on trial for these very serious crimes, he is accused of genocide.

But he was overthrown and the new government wants to instill Democratic values. I believe they have been a pleasant surprise. On the conflict in Darfur, I don’t believe peace has been reached, the conflict is ongoing. South Sudan has been another troubled place. News is that UN forces are now leaving there though, so, it seems it has likely calmed down.

We need to pray for their success because we know a group of terrorists will not be happy about that.

Democracy doesn’t always work in the misdle eaat. Sometimes the people vote for Islamist parties.
