If Christian authorities anywhere had imprisoned Muslims on false charges of theft, it would be insistent international news. But you won’t hear about this anywhere.
“Displaced Christians in Sudan Sentenced to Prison,” Morning Star News, January 28, 2025:
JUBA, South Sudan (Morning Star News) – A court in Sudan has sentenced seven Christians to prison terms of five and seven years on false charges of theft, sources said.
The displaced Christians in Shendi, River Nile state, who had been tortured by Military Intelligence agents after they were arrested on Jan. 14, are now serving their prison terms, said attorney Shinbago Mugaddam.
The Christians, all members of the Sudanese Church of Christ, had fled war in Khartoum, 150 kilometers (93 miles) southwest of Shendi. They were sentenced in a hurried trial the same day as their arrest after being tortured into confessing, said Mugaddam.
“These youths were tried under Article 174 of the Sudanese Criminal Code of 1994 relating to theft in a summary trial in the Shendi Court, River Nile state, where the conditions for a fair trial were not met,” Mugaddam told Morning Star News.
MI agents of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) had accused the Christians of theft and supporting the rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), with the Christians denying both allegations, he said. The Sudanese Christian Youth Union had asserted that the accusations were false and an excuse to arrest the Christians.
Sentenced to seven years in prison each were Muraad Morjaan Anglo, Akram Omer Al Mahadi, Mutaz Al Seed Ibrahim and Amjad Mustafa, and another unnamed Christian, Mugaddam said. Algab Mohamed Al Mahadi Atroon and Murkus Moses Allajabu were sentenced to five years in prison each, he said.
Christians in Sudan are now calling upon other Christians around the world to pray and stand with the Christians of Sudan, with one Christian posting on social media, “Let us rise our hands in the churches and pray for these young men who are jail so that God be with them.”
The Union of Sudanese Christian Youth had condemned the arrests and called for their immediate release. Describing the arrests as a violation of human and religions rights in Sudan, the body urged all rights groups, regional and international organizations to intervene and protect those who have jailed without evidence.
In October, 26 Christians were arrested by Military Intelligence in Shendi after fleeing areas under RSF control in Khartoum.
Sudan’s military-led government in May approved a law restoring broad powers and immunities to intelligence officers that had been stripped after the ousting of President Omar al-Bashir in April 2019. The General Intelligence Service (GIS) Law (2024 Amendment) empowers intelligence officers to summon and interrogate individuals, conduct surveillance and searches, detain suspects and seize assets, according to the Sudan War Monitor.
The amendment granted extensive immunity, shielding agents from criminal or civil prosecution without the approval of the head of GIS. In capital punishment cases, it gave the director authority to form a special court.
“Any act committed by any member of the agency in good faith during or because of the performance of his job duties, or the performance of any duty imposed on him, or from any act issued by him under any authority authorized or granted to him under this law, shall not be considered a crime,” the law’s Article 52 states, according to the Sudan War Monitor.
Sudan was ranked No. 5 among the 50 countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian in Open Doors’ 2025 World Watch List (WWL), down from No. 8 the prior year.
Conditions in Sudan worsened as civil war that broke out in April 2023 intensified. Sudan registered increases in the number of Christians killed and sexually assaulted and Christian homes and businesses attacked, according to the WWL report.
“Christians of all backgrounds are trapped in the chaos, unable to flee. Churches are shelled, looted and occupied by the warring parties,” the report stated….

Sadly, this is life everywhere with Islam and its Muslims against ALL Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran. Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) as designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam is a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran and NOT A PEACEFUL RELIGION UNDER WESTERN LAWS(Quran 2:216; 4:95; 8:12,39,74; 9:5,29,41,49, 88,111,123;21:92; 49:15 and more). More specifically, Islam is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Criminal Organization of continuous war, discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran. Fundamentally, Islam funds, teaches, and promotes a Terrorist Criminal Enterprise. The FRUIT of Islam is incessant WAR, terrorism, discrimination, and violence against all Non-Muslims; this FACT must be taught and broadcast to the general public to prohibit Islam, its Mosques, and its Schools. Also, Islam is an Antichrist System terrorizing Israel, Christians, and Non-Muslims. Plus, there is NO EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW in Islam or in Islamic Law(Quran 98:6-7; 9:29 and more). In Sahih Bukhari(V6,B60,N80), Abu Huraira narrates, “‘You(Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised for mankind.’ means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them[Non-Muslims] with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam[see Quran 3:110].” See also Quran 3:22,151; 69:30-32; 98:6.
Non-Muslims CANNOT have peace with Islam and its Muslims because Islam and its murderous god, Allah, demand a continuous, Muslim war against unbelievers where Non-Muslims are CRIMINALS under Islam as Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” HENCE, NON-MUSLIMS MUST MAKE ISLAM, ITS MOSQUES, ITS SCHOOLS, ITS ORGANIZATIONS, ETC. ILLEGAL UNDER THE LAW. Similarly, Islam and its many Organizations must be identified and publicly declared to be MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS for their funding, teaching, and support of terrorism, violence, and discrimination against Non-Muslims(eg. Quran 9:5,29,111 and more).
Islam promotes a terroristic, Muslim war against unbelievers when Allah in Qur’an 49:15 says, “Surely the believers are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with THEIR MONEY AND THEIR LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.”
Deceitful Allah promises Heavenly Paradise to Muslims for acts of Muslim killing in a terrorist war against Non-Muslims and hypocrites when Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they kill and are killed…”

Sudan & South Sudan should have done a population exchange that sent all muslims to north Sudan and Christians and Animists to South Sudan. They should still do it once the fighting in both countries dies down
