March 20 - 2015 KHARTOUM Fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq marching in Raqqa, Syria (AP) Eleven students and one doctor of a government-owned medical university in Khartoum have left Sudan to join the extremist IS in Iraq and Syria. In the past two weeks, they initially set out for Turkey to work with medical teams that treat civilians injured during the war waged by the international coalition against the extremist Islamic State (IS). According to local media in Sudan on Thursday, the University of Medical Sciences in Khartoum reported that the twelve left with British passports for Turkey. Their families fear that they will join the IS, after receiving the news of their departure from Turkey by telephone. Ahmed Babiker, Dean of Student Affairs at the University, owned by the Sudanese Ministry of Health, told the press that three medical students who recently graduated as doctors from the faculty, along with two medicine students, have disappeared. “The five told their families that they intended to travel to Turkey on a scientific journey, but doubts follow them about the possibility of joining the 'Daash' [IS].” The dean accused “jihadist networks” outside the university to attract students and convince them to join the ranks of the IS. Pro-extremist groups Another source in the university acknowledged that an association called “Islamic Civilisation” is active within the university, to stimulate students to join the extremists. But he was unsure “whether the association has a relationship with extremist organisations outside the univeristy”. Political activies inside the university are stopped. However, the Islamic Civilisation manages to operate there without intervention, and has put up posters advertising their case. Its members wear djellaba, short robes, inside the university. The women students wear burqa and are veiled. Most students in the faculty come from wealthy Sudanese families that live in Arab countries. Danger zone to foreign extremists The director of the political administration at the presidential palace, Abdel Wahab El Sawi, warned in the past that Sudan is accused of being a transit area for jihadist groups with, among them, Sudanese fighters. Sawi, who was speaking at a lecture on the military situation in West Africa, said that Sudan lies in the danger zone of the growing influence of Islamic extremist groups in Libya and northern Nigeria. In 2013, a student of the University of Medical Sciences left to Mali, to fight in the ranks of Islamic extremist groups. Islamic extremist groups in Sudan operate through religious associations in mosques, while being covered by the Islam-orientated Sudanese government.
