Quote: Wife of Sudan Islamist leader accuses Sudanese officials of corruption December 29, 2008 (KHARTOUM) – The wife of the leading Islamic opposition leader blasted Sudanese officials including the president accusing them of accumulating wealth through their positions in the government. JPEG - 13.1 kb Sudan’s Islamist opposition leader Hassan al-Turabi speaks during a news conference in Khartoum (Reuters) Wisal Al-Mahdi wife of Islamist leader Hassan al-Turabi told the pro-SPLM newspaper Ajras Al-Hurriya in an interview that the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) “demonstrated greed for money and power”. Al-Mahdi said that NCP figures contributed to the downfall of the Islamic ideology in Sudan “who built palaces and luxurious homes and ride private jets”. Al-Turabi, a former ally of President Omer Hassan Al-Bashir, was the government’s ideological mastermind in the 1990s and the De-facto ruler. However Al-Bashir and Al-Turabi split ranks and the latter was jailed on accusations of conspiracy. He was released in October 2003. The opposition leader was jailed again for more than a year in 2004 over accusations of connections with an alleged coup plot before being released in 2005. Al-Turabi’s wife provided what she claimed to be examples of corruption by top government officials. “This does not require any proof. I ask you to go to Kafoori area to see for yourself 31 pieces of land owned by the president and his relatives. Then go to Al-Raqi area to see the homes of Al-Bashir, Ali Osman [2nd Vice President], Mustafa Ismail [presidential adviser]” she said. Al-Mahdi revealed that the minister of finance and economy Awad Al-Jaz bought apartments in Dubai prestigious Palm Islands. “Al-Jaz bought 30 apartments and wanted to buy more but they [Dubai authorities] rejected that and asked to him to disclose the source of his money but he declined to show them” she said. “Of course the source of his money is Sudan’s oil” she added. The prices of apartments in the Dubai Palm Island range between $1.7 million - $4.2 million. The issue of corruption in Sudan has been largely minimized by Khartoum observers say. Sudanese officials are not required to submit a report showing their net worth despite some lawmakers pushing for it. Sudan has consistently named by watchdog Transparency International as one of the most corrupt countries in Africa together with Chad and Guinea. ..
