Various Islamic clerics in Sudan, demand that the new military rulers implement the Sharia.
This clip is a compilation of Sudanese clerics calling on the Transitional Military Council to instate shari’a law in Sudan. Sheikh Nasser Ridha of the Sudanese chapter of Hizb-ut-Tahrir said on Al-Jazeera Network (Qatar) on April 21, 2019 that the current issue is to establish an Islamic caliphate and to not hand Sudan over to a secular government. He said that it is the Sudan’s duty to pledge allegiance to an imam who will instate shari’a law. On April 19, 2019, Dr. Abd Hay Yousif, the Dean of Islamic Studies at the International University of Africa, said on Tayba TV (Sudan) that the religion of Allah is where the line is drawn, and he warned the Military Council to not harm or “transgress upon” Islam or the shari’a. He called on the Muslims of Sudan to take to the streets to “refute the lie” of the secular people, who he said are trying to impose a “twisted vision” on the people and who he said want alcohol, prostitution, and the cursing of Islam to be permitted. On April 20, 2019, Sheikh Muhammad Mustafa Abdel Qader said in a YouTube video that has almost 100,000 views that any political system other than Islam is unacceptable and that Sudan belongs to the Muslims. He spat several times at the “filthy” secular “communists,” “infidels,” and “apostates” who he said want to see Sudan engulfed in bloodshed, strife, corruption, and fornication.
