Mid 90's? Your sense of time here continues to mystify. News Article by Reuters posted on February 22, 2001 at 07:28:40: EST (-5 GMT) Sudan's Turabi says he expected arrest - newspaper CAIRO, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Sudanese Islamist leader Hassan al-Turabi, arrested this week for reaching an agreement with southern rebels, had expected to be detained, the pan-Arab Asharq al-Awsat newspaper reported on Thursday. Turabi and his aides were arrested in Khartoum on Wednesday. The government said they would be questioned about a memorandum of understanding signed with the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA), the main rebel group in the 18-year-old civil war. http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.sudan.net/news/posted/1611.html+sudan+turabi&hl=en SUDAN - Turabi arrest - "A relationship gone sour" Posted Mon, 26 Feb 2001 By AfricaOnline.com IRIN - The warming of relations between Sudan's influential Islamist idealogue, Hassan al-Turabi, and the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA)was apparently more than President Omar al-Bashir could handle, analysts say. Bashir had dissolved parliament when Turabi was serving as its speaker,in December 1999, two days before pro-Turabi lawmakers were set to vote on curbing Bashir's presidential powers. Eight months later, Turabi set up his own political party, the Popular National Congress, after stepping down as secretary-general of the ruling National Congress party, which had previously been led by Bashir. http://africa.iafrica.com/c2cnews/221830.htm Report: Sudan's Turabi held in solitary confinement February 26, 2001 intellnet.org Sudan said on Sunday the memorandum of understanding signed by Turabi's Popular National Congress Party (PNC) and rebel forces of the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) was aimed at toppling the government. It said this justified the arrests. Turabi, a former parliamentary speaker who was an ally of President Omar al-Bashir, formed the PNC in June after he was removed from his post. The PNC was among opposition parties that boycotted elections in December in which Bashir and his party won sweeping victories.
