Sudan will declare Islamic sharia law after rid of infidel south

The media has been busy obfuscating a referendum on Sudan, burying all evidence of Arabic and Islamic conquest. Now, the genocidal war-criminal president has all but forced the south to vote for secession, or be submitted to further brutality and discrimination under Islamic sharia law – which will likely be instituted regardless of the vote and the Bashir-led violence that will ensue. Where ever Islam spreads, sharia follows. via AFP: Sudan to reinforce sharia after south vote: Bashir.
KHARTOUM — Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir said on Sunday that the country’s north will reinforce its Islamic law after a referendum expected to grant independence to the south.
“If South Sudan secedes, we’ll change the constitution. There will be no question of cultural or ethnic diversity. Sharia will be the only source of the constitution, and Arabic the only official language,” Bashir said in a speech aired on national television.
Southerners are set to vote in a referendum on January 9 on whether to remain united with the north or break away and form their own country.
The vote is a key plank of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement between the mainly Muslim north and predominantly Christian south that put an end to more than two decades of civil war.
Analysts are predicting that the southerners will opt for independence, and senior officials in Khartoum are even beginning to get used to the idea of the split.
An aide to Bashir admitted on Thursday that south Sudan would probably choose secession because efforts aimed at promoting unity had failed.
“Despite our work for unity, we should not deceive ourselves or cling to dreams. We should rely on the facts on the ground,” the official SUNA news agency quoted Nafie Ali Nafie as saying.
“After the secession of the south, we could see the north radicalise and the creation of a Muslim caliphate,” one foreign official said on condition of anonymity.
The BBC adds, Sharia law to be tightened if Sudan splits, clarifying that sharia already exists and will become the only source of the constitution.
The imposition of Sharia on the non-Muslim south was one of the reasons for the long civil war, which ended when a peace deal was signed in 2005, the BBC’s James Copnall in Khartoum reports.
Under the accord, an interim constitution was drafted that removed Sharia law from the south and also recognised Sudan’s cultural and social diversity, our correspondent says.
