Sudanese security re-arrests ISIS sympathizer

June 30, 2015 (KHARTOUM) – Sudan’s National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS) has again apprehended the general coordinator of the far-right One Nation Movement group and the openly supporter of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), Mohamed Ali al-Gizouli in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Al-Gizouli was released last Friday after spending 8 months in detention against the backdrop of accusations pertaining to his support for ISIS.

His release coincides with the secret departure of 18 medical students from the University of Medical Sciences and Technology (UMST) to Turkey to join ISIS.

According to the One Nation Movement websites on Facebook and Twitter, NISS has re-arrested al-Gizouli without stating the reasons.

In a statement issued following his release last Friday, al-Gizouli said that his “ideas and stances didn’t change”, stressing his commitment to the international Jihadist thought.

He added that 240 days in detention don’t equal one hour of the humming of the aircrafts of Arab-Crusader over the heads of the Jihadists.

“The global Jihad movement is the legal and objective alternative for the killing of our peaceful spring [revolutions] and running over it by the deep state. Those who killed the aspirations of the [Islamic] nation must be prepared to meet the other options of the nation,” he added in his statement.

ISIS presence in Sudan has made the headlines last March after British media outlets confirmed reports that nine medical students from Sudanese origins entered Syria via Turkey to work in hospitals under the control of ISIS.

A religious group affiliated with the One Nation Movement was thought to have recruited them at the UMST.
