Emboldened by government calls for a Sudan based on Islamic law since the secession of South Sudan, Muslims have attacked Christians trying to finish constructing a church building near Khartoum, sources said.
The Sudanese Church of Christ (SCOC) congregation in Omdurman West has continued to meet for Sunday worship in a building without a roof.
Muslims in the Hay al Sawra, Block 29 area of Omdurman West on Aug. 5 attacked SCOC members who were constructing the church building, the sources said.
The church had filed a complaint with the Ministry of Guidance and Religious Endowments, which in September informed the SCOC that officials will investigate the matter, though it gave no time frame. (CDN)
