Gang, Second article, News Article by DPA on February 08, 1999 at 11:07:52: Christian-Moslem tension continues at Sudanese university · Khartoum (dpa) - The University of Khartoum remained tense Sunday following a Saturday clash in which Moslem students burnt Christian books on exhibition on the campus. · Militant student groups had set up rival camps inside the university and were trading insults Sunday while riot police hovered nearby to intervene if fighting broke out. · The Moslem students who Saturday attacked the Christian students belonged to a group calling itself "Islamic Movement". · They claimed that a mosque within the campus had been defiled by infidels and non-Moslems and that the university administration was to blame for the humiliation to which Islam was being subjected by allowing the "cross" (Christianity) into the university. · The statement issued by the movement did not explain what they meant by the mosque being defiled since Christians never enter the mosque. The Christian book exhibition which was supposed to have lasted from February 6 to February 11 has been put off by the university administration which said conditions were no longer conducive for it. Other Moslem students belonging to the Democratic Front and the Democratic Unionist Parties have also set up their camps in the campus from where they have been issuing statements condeming the Saturday attack on the Christian students. · The Democratic Unionist Party blamed intolerance for other faiths as demonstrated by the Islamic Movement on government policy that had favoured only one religion. · They said the way to maintain harmony in the culturally and religiously diverse Sudan was to get rid of the current Islamic government and replace it with a democratic one. · The Islamic Movement is known to be pro-government while the Democratic Front and the Democratic Unionist Party are in the Sudanese political opposition.
