Sudan and the work of women

The Sudanese minister of justice has admitted before the constitutional court that the decision of the Wali ( governor ) of the capital Khartoum Majzoub al-Khaleifa to prevent women from working in hotels, restaurants and tourism area is not comprehensible and needed to be dealt with.

In his statements before the court on Monday, the Justice minister added that the decision of the Wali has embarrassed the President of Sudan Omar Hassan al-Bashir who was then at the UN to attend the third Millennium summit and that the Wali did not consult the ministry of justice to this effect.

The Sudanese minister continued that all regional and international charters and agreements which the Sudanese government ratified are greatly honored and appreciated by the government, including the special agreements on the rights of women and the children.
