Khartoum orders Christian schools to operate on Sundays Khartoum State’s Ministry of Education has ordered all Christian schools in the capital to stop regarding Sunday as a public day off, effective immediately.
“In order not to affect the educational process and the ongoing plan, we ask you not to observe Sunday holiday,” The ministry’s Awadia El-Sheikh Saleh Omer wrote in a letter dated 26 July. Fridays and Saturdays are public holidays in Sudan. Sunday is regarded a work day in Sudan, but Christian schools do not operate. Reacting to the news, Rev. Yahya Abdelrahim Nalu, Moderator of Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church, urged the government to revoke its decision. The government’s move is seen as a way to prosecute the Christian-minority in the country. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
