New Law in Sudan Dismantles Foundations of Bashir's Government

Naba Mohiedeen

   KHARTOUM - Sudanese authorities have approved a law to dismantle the
   foundations of former president Omar al-Bashir's government.
   Demonstrators flooded the streets in Khartoum in celebration of the new
   law, which also repeals a public order act used to regulate women's
   dress and behavior.

   Demonstrators chanted as they march in Khartoum Thursday, after Sudan's
   new ruling sovereign council and the cabinet led by Prime Minister
   Abdalla Hamdok dissolved the party of former President Omar al-Bashir.

   Minister of Justice Naser Eldin Abdel Bari, who proposed the law to the
   ministers' council, said the law was passed under the constitutional
   draft signed between the military and protest leaders.

   Abdel Bari says this law is directed at the National Congress Party,
   and allows the government to seize the NCP's assets and hand them to
   the ministry of finance and strategic planning.
