Sudan has tons over tons of problems that include wars, tribal wars and even a civil war, water problems -as I showed in the previous post-, and etc, so talking about an alcohol law does seem like nothing more than an attempt to milk the western public opinion. I mean feed your people first and stop the civil/tribal wars.
So any person buying this is either ignorant concerning politics and the state of Sudan, or plain simply gullible.
i.e this is a mere old tactic to milk western public opinion.
Tourism ? I hope the tourists don't get kidnapped first.
You realize that the last time people protested in Sudan they got shot, right?

? so ain't speaking about an alcohol law lame? I mean Sudanese people are getting shot at sight when they protest !
Starvation, water shortages, attacks on protestors, wars and tourist kidnappings have NOTHING to do with the OP.
Stop trolling.

Ignoring the elephant on the room and cheering for an ant is quite...lame.
It's also quite ignorant and hypocritical.
Get the people to eat first, get them to drink, get them to take every right they deserve, then come speak about religious choice.

Actually, I don't think religious rulers care if people actually believe -- only that they don't air their disbelief publicly. This keeps the religious higherarchy safely in power.
The same for supporting the government -- you can hate it, but as long as you can't say so, there will never be a movement to overthrow it.
Indeed. Governments that claim to be Islamic or ruling with Islam are in many times so far away from the religion -look at Saudi Arabia for example-, but they claim it because it gives them power. Sometimes it's the only power they use to glue the masses to obey their rule.
