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

Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and Abdel-Aziz al-Hilu, a leader of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North rebel group, signed a declaration in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, on Thursday adopting the principle.

“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 document states.

The accord comes less than a week after the government initialed a peace deal with rebel forces that’s raised hopes of an end to fighting that ravaged Darfur and other parts of Sudan under ousted dictator Omar al-Bashir. The larger of two factions in the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North, which has fought Sudanese troops in the nation’s border states, has refused to sign any agreement that doesn’t ensure a secular system.

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 country the “vanguard of the Islamic world.” Al-Qaeda and Carlos the Jackal settled there; the U.S. designated Sudan a terror sponsor in 1993, later imposing sanctions until 2017.

Nice one

Trust me if core North becomes independent they would kill Sharia law in 10 years.....na just political move nothing more

They were doing that in the 1970s, until El Nimery and eventually Al Bashir decided to start pandering to the religious base to boost popularity.

And things went downhill

I'm happy this ones have found a cure to their major problems. UAE that is the centre of tourism installed sense to themselves long ago.

Northern bandits left the group chat.

Nice development

Separate Islamic religion from politics and see development happening.Ask the Egyptians about how they chase & later imprisoned Muslim Brotherhood members who turned their nation in chaos within one year of being in government.

In Nigeria a so called democratic nation,a sharia court sentenced someone to death by hanging for blasphemy.

Lol.....Our brothers up North are warming up to take Islam to a new level by making it even stricter for their fellows......



One is going to die for blasphemy....

Their eyes don open sharp sharp.

Meanwhile in Nigeria, Buhari is focusing on religion and dragging Nigeria back to the years of BC and AD

And Nigeria want to overtake Saudi Arabia on Islamic issues.

Bloody hypocrites

Good, but not good enough.

Eradicate all forms of religion from your society and then you will begin to witness true growth in your nation.

A society where the people are loyal to some unseen entity hidden in the clouds and would rather be loyal to that entity than their own nation is a recipe for disaster.

Abi. Go to UAE, you will not believe it is a Muslim dominated country. Churches are allowed to have services on Fridays too.

While some have seen the light and pulling out, some are diving head deep into it...

Bro, this is not the way.

Let's focus on presidency or Biafra and leave other regions.

We must not put our mouth in things that doesn't concern is.

Good one ....watch how sudan will start rapid development.

Nigeria that isn't an Islamic state, why is it not developing rapidly?

It's a good move though, but hardly what is required for development.

What about sharia law that is been practised in the north...Nigeria might officially be a Secular state but religion has Eaten too deep into country.

Very correct!

Northern Nigerian Demons must be the very chief guards of the kingdom of hell and darkness.
It seems like there are nineteen pillars of that kingdom in this country.

This ought to make front page

Yup, but you still can't classify Nigeria as an Islamic country regardless.
