Islamic thinker Dr El Mahboub Abdelsalam says Sudan\u2019s Islamists failed to learn from their three decades in power and must now face up to democracy, accountability, and dialogue. Speaking in an in-depth interview on Radio Dabanga\u2019s Plain Speaking<\/em> programme on Saturday, Abdelsalam accused both the National Congress Party (NCP) and the Islamic Movement of remaining locked in a culture of confrontation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey did not hold themselves to account for what they committed, or even for what they achieved,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He described the Islamist era as a disaster marked by massive human rights violations and wasted opportunities, despite the movement\u2019s access to well-educated cadres and experience under Jaafar Nimeiri and Sadiq al Mahdi<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe contradictions were huge. As many Islamists in the Arab world admit, Sudan\u2019s experience became an embarrassment to them,\u201d Abdelsalam noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stressed that democracy is the decisive test for Sudan today: \u201cIt is the framework our state institutions and civil organisations must reach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
