Militant Islam sweeps away Sudan's diversity

Article Abstract:

The military government in Sudan has, since mid-April 1993, spearheaded a drive to undermine any support for the Ansar religious sector led by the former prime minster Sadiq al-Mahdi, who was deposed by the military coup in 1989. That coup, led by General Omar Hassan al-Bashir, established a military Islam government that still insists it will introduce democracy. The ruling Revolutionary Command Council is said to have the support of Hassan Turabi, leader of the formally disbanded National Islamic Front.

Soft words in Sudan conceal face of terror

Article Abstract:

Hassan al-Turabi is the founder and leader of Sudan's National Islamic Front (NIF.) He is considered a terrorist by Washington and hated in North Africa. Tunisians accuse him of belonging to the new Islamic international. Turabi is charming and speaks three languages. He has a law degree from London and a doctorate on emergency laws from the Sorbonne. He feels the sincerity and honesty to God on which religion is founded frightens North African states. Religious revival does not mean terrorism or force.
