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

Leader of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North rebel group Abdel-Aziz al-Hilu and Sudanese Prime minister Abdalla Hamdok signed the declaration in Addis Ababa on Thursday.

“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 declaration stated.

This comes less than a week after the government signed a peace deal with rebel forces, raising hopes of an end to the violence that had crippled the Darfur region and other parts of Sudan under ousted president Omar al-Bashir.

Sudan is emerging from international isolation that began soon after Bashir seized power in 1989 and implemented a hard-line interpretation of Islamic law that sought to make the nation the “vanguard of the Islamic world”.

The United States labeled Sudan a terror sponsor in 1993 and later imposed sanctions until 2017.

U try

They have seen the light.

Somewhere in West Africa, some elements are trying to take us back that archaic and selfish road.

But one former giant of Africa is looking for how to practice Islamic law

In Nigeria the Chief Justice is advocating for the inclusion of Sharia Law in our constitution.
Kano state has sentencoe somebody to death for blasphemy and all the lawyers in Kano are scared of defending him even in a Sharia court because of the fear oob action after Friday prayers.

A woman was killed by her neighbour in the market in Kano because she asked him not to do ablution in front of her shop and the Kano state government refused to prosecute the killer in court and freed him because the Governor did not to be identified as fighting for justice for a Christian woman against a fellow Muslim.

The politicians who want to impose religion on everyone will never allow themselves or their relations to be judged under Sharia Law. They will never take elections rigging matter to a Sharia nor stealing of public funds as depicted by the cartoon below

Nice step

Nice one...

They Are Now Aware That Where Islam Grows Freedom Dies

Kudos to the US government. They can now be removed from the list of state terror sponsors.

Nice one.

Way to go, some are forging ahead why some are moving backwards.

I nor call name o

“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 summary of the matter here is where Islam grows democracy dies

I hate Islam

Awe happy for Sudan
Iran was once a multi religious country too before jihadists took over ( a fast developing western culture at that)
That's why I pray Buhari and his goons fail in their plan to enslave us

In Nigeria Islamic law supersedes common law


The have been doing it in hiding for many years about to make it public


All those wig wearers knows they are only there to eat their share of the national cake


Even the north has formed their own NORTHERN ASSOCIATION OF WIG WEARERS

If southern tries it heaven will fall....BBC WILL START WRITING ALL RUBBISH THEY CAN
