Sudanese Christians hope a short march marks a step toward religious freedom. Their March for Jesus tradition had been suspended under President Omar al-Bashir, who was overthrown in April.
Pastor Hafiz Dasta, of the Bahri church, said a Muslim cousin can now ring in the season with him.
Ezekiel Kondo, archbishop of the Episcopal Church of Sudan, said he was encouraged by government efforts but he wants to see more changes such as the legalization of some churches. Many Christians acknowledge that some churches were built without permits, but they say obtaining the required paperwork under al-Bashir’s government proved virtually impossible.Kondo, like some, says it is too early to know if there’s “complete freedom, especially religious freedom.
Anurima Bhargava, a member of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, said in a phone interview that a commission meeting earlier in December with the Sudanese Prime Minister, Abdalla Hamdok, and other officials was “one of the most promising meetings that we’ve had.” “They’re working on a bunch of different fronts. I think it’s going to take some time for all of that to be felt,” Bhargava said.State Department announced
