A Sudanese committee set up to recover public funds after the ouster of autocratic ruler Omar al-Bashir

...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. Omar has been indicted for genocide by the International Criminal Court but nothing is expected to come of it...

#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.
