Sudan, Politics, 9/11/2000

Sudanese first vice president Ali Ossman Mohammed Taha addressed a message to minister of social planning to stop immediately the current arrangements for establishing the market which the craftsman union suggest to establish it on the site of a Christians' graves area.

He issued strongly worded instructions to the officials to stop these arrangements.

Bishop Kobrial Rorning hailed these decisions and depicted it of being brave especially that the decision of establishing the market in the Christians' graves angered many Churches, saying that this decision could be explained that there are problems among the Moslems and the Christians "especially those who wish problems for the Sudanese government."

State minister in the Sudanese foreign ministry Bishop Kobrial welcomed keeping the sanctity of the dead Christians.
