Al-Bashir intends to release al-Turabi
The Sudanese al-Sahafa daily said yesterday that the Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir intends to release the Islamic opposition member Hassan al-Turabi who has been jailed since more than two years.
Al-Bashir said "he will not stay there in prison for ever.. There were conditions that justified al-Turabi's detention and he will be released when such conditions pass," giving no further explanations. On the other hand, the leader of the opposition al-Haditha ( recent) forces movement, al-Haj Warak, announced that al-Bashir vowed yesterday to make national dialogue with all political parties. He said that al-Bashir considered that differences between the Sudanese political parties do not constitute "but simple problem that can be eliminated by dialogue." He added that al-Bashir accepted to "supervise the dialogue personally." He called on "all pro and opposition parties to a general meeting during which various matters will be discussed."
