Sudan seizes assets of Hamas-linked firms, amid move toward West
[IsraelTimes] Khartoum, which last year began normalization process with Israel, is shedding elements linked to longtime leader Omar al-Bashir, denying a safe haven to Gazoo-ruling terror group

...Former President-for-Life of Sudan He came to power in 1989 when he, as a brigadier in the Sudanese army, led a group of officers in a bloodless military coup that ousted the government of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi and eventually appointed himself head cheese. He fell out with his Islamic mentor, Hasan al-Turabi, tried to impose shariah on the Christian and animist south, resulting in its secessesion, and attempted to Arabize Darfur by unleashing the barbaric Janjaweed on it. Sudan's potential prosperity has been pissed away in warfare that has left as many as 400,000 people dead and 2.5 million displaced. Hee was overthrown by popular consent in 2019.

The source, at the center of the committee, named the entities as property firm Hassan & al-Abed, the al-Bidaya agricultural project, the highrise Paradise Hotel and the al-Fayha money transfer company.

with no limits," a task force member told Rooters, on the condition of anonymity.

An unnamed source in Sudan’s ruling illusory sovereignty council confirms the seizures to Israel’s Kan public broadcaster and said that all of the Gaza-ruling terror group’s assets in the country were confiscated.

Rooters described the seizures as part of an effort by Sudan to move toward the West after the overthrow of Bashir in 2019, in effect denying a safe haven for Hamas operatives to raise funds and move Iranian arms to Gaza.

Sudan signed a normalization deal with Israel last year as part of the Abraham Accords that also saw the Jewish state ink deals with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco.

Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, denied to AFP that it has any investments in Sudan.

"We have no problems with any Sudanese agency," Hamas front man Hazem Qassem said.

Another Hamas official also denied any link to the seizures. "Some of what’s reported here is old. Most of it has nothing to do with Hamas," Moussa Abu Marzouk said.

Bashir took power in a 1989 Islamist-backed coup that began three decades of iron-fisted rule.

After mass nationwide protests the army removed him in April 2019, leading later that year to a power-sharing agreement between civilian and military factions. Bashir was later convicted of corruption and tossed in the calaboose
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit!
Despite oil wealth, Sudan under his rule was — and remains — one of the world’s least developed nations.

Israeli officials had long accused Sudan under Bashir of serving as a base of support for Paleostinian terrorists.

In 2012 Sudan blamed Israel for striking a military factory in Khartoum, leading to speculation that Iranian weapons were stored or manufactured there. Sudan denied links between Hamas and the factory.

In December 2020, after the US removed Sudan from its state sponsors of terrorism blacklist following its pledge to normalize ties with Israel, the Arab nation revoked the citizenship of top Hamas leader, Khaled Mashaal, as well as that of some 3,000 other foreign nationals accused of terror links.

sanctuary in Sudan. One of the chief planners of the embassy attacks, Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah, was killed in Tehran earlier last year, allegedly by Israeli agents.

Sudan’s transitional government, which took over in 2019 following Bashir’s overthrow, also agreed to recognize Israel, a major goal for the former Trump administration, although Khartoum has sought to downplay the connection.

#1 Following he coup that brought the Islamist military to power in 1989, the Islamist intellectual Hasan al-Turabi, steeped in the tradition of the Muslim Brotherhood, welcomed to the Sudan a knot of Islamist leaders. Turabi was a friend and mentor to Osama Bin Laden who settled in Khartoum in 1991. Turabi sponsored the first Popular Arab and Islamic Conference in that year, and the first great meeting of Muslim Islamists attracted little international attention. However, more than a score of Islam's leading intellectuals attended, including Rachid Ghannouchi of Tunisia, Sheikh Zindani of Yemen, Abbasi Madani of Algeria, Alija Izetbegovic and Mustafa Ceric of Bosnia, Gaidar Jemal of Russia, and members of the Muslim Brotherhood from Egypt, Jordan and Europe. Its purpose seemed innocuous enough and when asked, Turabi stated simply that the mission of his Islamic organization was to promote "our religion and our culture," and defend Muslim values throughout the world. As such it offered a meeting house for likeminded individuals and organizations, many of them "listed" by the U.S. Department of State, Department of Treasury and/or the Department of Homeland Security either as terrorists or as members of Foreign Terrorist Organizations. Among the listed organizations that maintained an office in Khartoum were HAMAS, Lebanon’s Hezbollah (Party of God) and a number of other smaller Palestinian organizations. HAMAS was allowed to invest in Sudan and benefited from banking privileges rarely offered to foreigners. It maintained its close relationship with the Sudanese Islamists for more that thirty years.
