Sudan security blocks International Women’s Day celebrations
March 8, 2014 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese security authorities have prevented several civil society organisations from celebrating the International Women’s Day (IWD) on 8 March.
But al-Nazeer affirmed that the organizers obtained permission for the celebration, stressing the incident reflects internal divisions among centers of power within the ruling National Congress Party (NCP).
He argued that there are two factions within the NCP, one of them supports dialogue, soft change, and openness towards other political parties while the other is making every possible effort to obstruct dialogue and widens gap of mistrust.
