No, not that kind of Party of Allah. At least not until after “martyrdom.” The name change would be but one more sign of the intensified emphasis on Sharia in Khartoum. Whether or not they intend to allude to their hoodlum friends in Lebanon, they would call themselves the “Party of Allah” to cast themselves […]
Sudan bombs Bible school
Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir is already wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of genocide and war crimes, and continues to be protected by the Arab League and OIC. “Sudan bombs US-funded Bible school, forcing students, teachers to flee; US condemns attack,” from the Associated Press, February 3: NAIROBI, Kenya “” Sudan’s military bombed […]
Sudan threatens church leaders “who are involved in preaching or evangelistic activities”
Sharia forbids the propagation of non-Islamic faiths, and Sudan’s president Bashir had promised an intensified enforcement of Sharia alongside a campaign of cultural and linguistic Arabization.

Libya welcomes Sudan’s Bashir, wanted by International Criminal Court for genocide
Many reports from the time of the fall of Gadhafi’s regime described terrible brutality by Libya’s revolutionaries against black Africans, as Bashir has heaped abuse on Darfur and the now-independent South Sudan.

Sudan: Islamic leader and Bashir rival threatens “Arab Spring” revolution
Like the other Arab Spring revolutions, the choices available to the populace would sound like the “Spam” diner sketch from Monty Python: Sharia, Sharia, elections and Sharia; new constitution, Sharia, and Sharia, and so on. “Sudan will soon see revolution: Islamist leader Turabi,” from Reuters, January 6: KHARTOUM (Reuters) – Opposition leader Hassan al-Turabi said […]
Gaza premier Haniyeh visits Sudanese president Bashir, wanted for genocide
Haniyeh is trying to look more statesman-like with this regional tour.

Sudanese cleric blames Shi’ites for toy gun said to insult Muhammad’s wife, Aisha
Remember when we said the assessment of blame for the “anti-Islam” toy gun promised to be entertaining?

Sheik Muhammad Al-Amin Ismail blames Shi’ites, due to the antagonism between Ali and Aisha. Ali is accepted […]
Sudanese president says country is proceeding with plans for entirely Islamic constitution and Sharia law
The new constitution will be a deliberate U-turn from the interim one that respected “the cultural and social diversity of the Sudanese people,” at least on paper. Wherever Sharia law experiences a revival, tolerance decreases, and persecution, harassment, and abuses of human rights increase. Bashir is already wanted by the International Criminal Court for genocide […]
Auxiliary Bishop of Khartoum: Tolerance of Christians decreasing in northern Sudan
A renewed interest in enforcing Sharia consistently results in decreasing tolerance, and increasing harassment and intimidation.

Sudan: Bashir’s “final solution” in action
