A member of the Islamic Jurisprudential Council of Sudan issued a fatwa<\/em> on Friday, stating that it is not allowed to vote for the incumbent President Al Bashir in the forthcoming election.<\/p>\n

Dr Yousef El Koda called on all Sudanese “not to vote for Al Bashir and his aides, as casting a vote means to acknowledge responsibility before God Almighty.<\/p>\n

“Based on this assumption,” he stated, “the Sudanese cannot vote for a regime that came to power by deceit”.<\/p>\n

Pointing to the 1989 military coup by Omar Al Bashir, reportedly directed by Dr Hassan El Turabi, El Koda said: “Did not one of them acknowledge that he told Al Bashir: You will enter the palace as president, while I shall be in prison?”<\/p>\n

“The Sudanese cannot vote for a regime that came to power by deceit.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Islamic scholar stressed that “What is built on falsehood remains false.<\/p>\n

“The failing rule during all those years proves the proverb. The country lost a third of its territory [South Sudan] and wars broke out in most of the corners of the country.<\/p>\n

“Injustice, the loss of morality, and trade in religion are now prevailing. No one in Sudan can find a job nor live a proper life, except the members of the ruling party.”<\/p>\n
