Nasri Morgus, member of the Sudanese Organisation for Defending Rights and Freedoms (SODRF) has criticized local authorities for banning Christians from building places of worship in Sudan.
This comes after Khartoum authorities issued a decision to demolish about 25 churches in Sharq Al-Neel and Khartoum North Localities.
Speaking on Radio Tamazuj’s Sudan This Week program, Nasri described what is happening to Christians in Sudan as “unfortunate”.
He pointed out that the Christians have been requesting the government to allocate special land for churches for nearly 20 years, but without any positive response so far, while Muslims are allowed to build their mosques.
Nasri also expressed discontent about what he termed as discrimination of Christians, saying Christians were not allowed to read verses from the Bible during a conference for forgiveness held in Khartoum recently, while Muslims were invited to recite the Quran.
