The Guardian cover reactions to Omar al-Bashir being sentenced to two years for corruption.

Sulaf Baloul, whose father was executed by al-Bashir in 1991, said he was pleased by the verdict, but “families of the martyrs, we will only feel relieved when he is sentenced to death.”

Mohamed El-Fatih, 27, said he respected the Sudanese judicial system but felt the verdict was wrong. “I am optimistic that he will be free when they appeal the decision,” he added.
