s0nicfan 07/12/20 7:50:21 PM #1:	Some good news for today. This is perhaps the most significant attempt at real reform I've ever seen in an Islamic theocracy. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-53379733 After more than 30 years of Islamist rule, Sudan has outlined wide-reaching reforms including allowing non-Muslims to drink alcohol, and scrapping the apostasy law and public flogging. "We [will] drop all the laws violating the human rights in Sudan," Justice Minister Nasredeen Abdulbari said. A raft of new laws were passed last week but this is the first public explanation of their contents. Sudan has also banned female genital mutilation (FGM). Under the new laws, women no longer need permission from a male relative to travel with their children. The latest changes come after a restrictive public order law that controlled how women acted and dressed in public was repealed in November. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Sudan was never a tourist destination and I believe it has an even higher % of Muslims than a place like Saudi Arabia so it makes sense. That being said some of these changes put them "ahead" of even Saudi Arabia and the UAE so it's a pretty big deal. --- https://imgur.com/bbRWLI8 https://imgur.com/A0BErSV https:/i.imgur.com/S1m3po4.jpg https://imgur.com/7fCcfko <cite>Bio1590 posted [p:942030634] in Sudan pass...
