I’m sure that will not be a problem.

May 10, 2013 (KHARTOUM) – Sudan’s High Committee for Mobilisation and Alert has held a meeting with mosque imams to discuss the implications of the recent attacks in South and North Kordofan states by the rebel Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) and to call for jihad (holy war).

The meeting discussed the need to reinforce the message of mosques in society and to urge worshipers to fulfil the virtue of jihad and martyrdom, as well as fighting the enemies who they say terrorised the peaceful residents at Um Rawaba, Abu Kershola, and Um Brimbita.

The spokesperson for the Popular Defence Forces (PDF), Mohamed Ahmed Haj Majid, warned against the actions of the SRF which he said aims to disrupt national unity and break up the country, calling on imams to encourage people to engage in jihad and to fight in the name of Allah.

Meanwhile, the mayor of Khartoum locality, Omer Nimir, has stressed the importance of mosques and imams in shaping public opinion, urging imams to appeal to people donate money, food and clothing for the victims of what he called the “insidious” attacks on North and South Kordofan.
