[SUDANTRIBUNE] Sudan Chief Justice, Nemat Abdallah Khair, on Monday dismantled the notorious public order courts that sentenced women to be publically flogged for dressing "indecently".The decision comes one year after the repeal of the Public Order laws that curtailed women rights and legalized violence against women for 30 years.
"The Chief Justice decided to cancel the orders to establish the special first instance and appeals courts, which include the public order courts, the customs court, the property tax court, the tax court, the income tax court and the Sudan port court."
The decision directed to refer the cases under consideration in the banned courts to other competent ones.
The official news agency said that the decision tasked the heads of the judiciary to use the premises of the revoked courts "in a manner that supports the performance of their courts."
Also, the judges and staff of the special courts should be transferred to work in other tribunals.
On 28 November 2019, the transitional government repealed the public order law which had been deployed by the former regime to impose conservative Islamic social codes, restricting women’s freedoms.

[SUDANTRIBUNE] The U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo revealed that Washington is working with members of the United Security Council (UNSC) towards lifting long-standing sanctions imposed on Sudan.
In a statement released today Pompeo explained the reasons behind the renewal of national emergency with respect to Sudan by President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... "This notice maintains certain Sudan-related authorities, which the United States relies on to implement our sanctions obligations under UN Security Council resolutions related to the conflict in Darfur," the top U.S. diplomat said.
"However, women are made to be loved, not understood... it does not reflect negatively on our improved bilateral relationship with Sudan or on the performance of the civilian-led transitional government and does not have any impact on the decision or procedures to rescind Sudan’s State Sponsor of Terrorism (SST) designation" he added.
The national emergency declaration is part of the powers conferred on U.S. presidents under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) which allows them to "regulate international commerce" when invoking such an emergency is in response to a perceived threat against the US.

[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North, led by Abdel Aziz al-Hilu, revealed that the head of the Sudanese government delegation, Shams al-Din Kabbashi, rejected the recommendations of the workshop on the relationship between state and religion.
A workshop on the state’s relationship with religion was held in Juba, the capital of South Sudan, over the past week concerning the gaps between the government and the movement, as a result of the joint agreement between al-Hilu and Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok on September 3.
"The Movement agreed to the controllers and experts’ report proposing to separate religion from the state, in order to ensure a peaceful solution," said the Movement’s front man, Koko Mohammed Jagdoul, in a statement extended to the Sudan Tribune on Monday.
"But in the closing session, Kabbashi rejected the outcomes of the workshop after having accepted them and congratulated the controllers outside the hall."
Jagdoul further pointed out that the head of the government delegation, Kabbashi, and the delegation’s spokesperson, Mohammed Hassan Eltaishi, were absent from most of the workshop sessions.
Consequently, the SPLM-N held Kabbashi responsible for the failure of the workshop, noting that its paramount goal was to reach a consensus on the relationship between religion and the state.
"Failure to accept the 3 September agreement means not accepting the separation of religion from the state and rejecting the grinding of the peace processor," stressed the front man.
On September 3, the Sudanese Prime Minister agreed to introduce the subject of the relationship between the state and religion in the peace talks with al-Hilu, hold informal workshops, then reach a common understanding on the matter before resuming formal talks.
The SPLM demand made including the relationship of the state with religion in the peace negotiations their chief condition.
The workshop, which took place on Saturday and Sunday, was attended by representatives of both the Sudanese government and the SPLM-North and several experts, and in addition to the Public International Law & Policy Group (PILPG), the African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD), the PDS consultants, and the South Sudanese mediation team.

[AhvalNews] The United States is looking at opportunities for either rotational or permanent U.S. presence across the whole European continent, said Department of State Bureau of Political-Military Affairs Assistant Secretary, R. Clarke Cooper, on a conference call on Monday with reporters in response to question whether the United States had identified any alternative to Turkey’s southern Incirlik base.
Cooper was in Athens on Thursday to meet with Greek Foreign Affairs Minister Nikos Dendias. Cooper also visited Cyprus and Bulgaria during the same trip.
The relationship between the United States and Turkey has soured over a number of issues, including northern Syria, where Turkey took large swathes of territory from where U.S. allied Syrian Kurdish formerly controlled.
