SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Reuters - Court orders return of key Sudanese Islamist group

29/4/2022: Reuters - Court orders return of key Sudanese Islamist group

Reuters report that a Sudanese high court took “a further step towards the rehabilitation of allies of the former regime” by reversing a decision dissolving the Islamic Call Organization, an organising and financing arm for the regime that has helped to finance Islamist groups.

Reuters add that following the October 2021 military coup, the Islamists who had been removed from power have been gradually returning to the civil service, while seizures of bank accounts and other assets of Islamists have been reversed.

Analysts say it is part of an attempt by the military to build a political base after the parties it had been sharing power with prior to the coup rejected negotiation, Reuters note.
