SUDAN Sudanese Christians face more government pressure than ever following last year’s secession by South Sudan. In January, the Ministry of Guidance and Religious Endowments sent a letter warning it would arrest church leaders for engaging in evangelistic activities or failing to register their contact information.

Within weeks, police arrested and beat a Khartoum evangelist, apparently for using his church as his home. Another church leader was arrested when he complained that authorities seized his church’s property and gave it to a Muslim businessman. Religious leaders within Sudan have saidChristianity is now culturally and officially considered a foreign religion in the north.
