؟ What are the main challenges in the struggle against human rights abuses in Sudan
MONIM: I will point to three major challenges. One is wars and conflicts that are basically started and fueled by the central government, whether in South Sudan, Darfur, eastern Sudan or in the far north. This is one of the main challenges – bringing real and genuine peace. The second challenge is the combination of dictatorship and political Islamist ideologists who have been systematically violating human rights for more than two decades.
The third challenge is the culture of racism and discrimination, whether against other ethnic groups or discrimination against women, or against other religious groups.
ALI: As a lawyer working in human rights, I think the main challenge is the culture of impunity and how strongly it is maintained in Sudan. The judiciary is not independent and the attorneys working in the Ministry of Justice are not independent and the police are not working as an independent neutral body.
The security forces are not defending or supporting or helping the Sudanese people. They are just working as the people who have to defend and maintain the position of the NCP [National Congress Party, the ruling party]. It is very difficult to achieve justice in Sudan
