Sudan Calls on African Nations to Unify Ranks to Overcome Challenges
The First Vice President Ali Osman Mohamed Taha has said that Sudan is ready to cooperate with the African continent to boost health, education, security and peace.
Taha, who was addressing yesterday in Khartoum the opening session of an international symposium on "Islam and Africa's Challenges", called for unification of ranks to surmount hurdles hindering the continent's development.
Africa is a model for the world which is seeking tranquility, peace and stability, he said. Africa is being targeted by former colonials for its resources, he added. He said Africa is also suffering from breakup, wars and poverty and that needs additional efforts by the participants in this symposium to address these challenges.
The Vice President said communicating the message and propagating the faith is the duty of every Muslim, praising the role of the institutions which organized the forum including the League of the Islamic World, Omdurman Islamic University and renaissance and civilization communication.
Taha expressed his appreciation for the custodian of the two holy mosques for his contribution towards propagation of the Islamic faith.
Despite challenges, the Islamic countries can realize a brighter future if we follow the right track, he said, and underscored the need to prevent separation in the countries of the continent.
Sudan looks forward to the outcomes of this forum to implement them on the ground, he said.
Meanwhile, the Secretary General of the Muslim World League Prof. Abdallah Abdul Muhsin Al-Turki said African is still encountering challenges hindering its development, citing extremism and sectarian conflicts as the most dangerous challenges whose causes he attributed to ignorance and wrong understanding of religion.
Dr. Esam Ahmed Al Bashir, chairman of the Islamic Fiqh (jurisprudence) Council has called for need to halt wars, sectarian and doctrinal conflict.
Prof. Hassan Abbas, Vice Chancellor of the Omdurman Islamic University said the university played a significant role in the African continent because it taught many African students Arabic language. He said the university also played a great role in spreading Islam in Africa.
Dr. Saeed Burham, Vice Chancellor of the University of Comoros said the Continent did not develop much despite its huge potentialities because of tribal and regional wars.
