The Sudanese government recently passed a number of laws that repealed various Islamic legal restrictions introduced while former president Bashir was in power, including the outlaw of apostasy and restrictions on women's dress. The new legislation also prohibited Female Genital Mutilation and allowed the consumption of alcohol for non-Muslims and for mothers to travel with their children without the permission of the father. Thousands of Sudanese Islamic groups and supporters of ousted president Omer Al-Bashir staged a protest in the capital Khartoum against a new set of laws that have scrapped various Islamic laws. "We're ready for jihad to defend Islam," a protester said as he chanted "Nasur Aldin is an enemy of Allah" referring to the minister of justice who spearheaded the new laws.
