Sudan is among several nations that obstruct freedom of worship and other related human rights in Africa.
The “Eleventh Annual Report on Religious Freedom in the World” lists Sudan, Eritrea, Nigeria, Egypt and Somalia among countries denying religious freedom to their citizens.The report, prepared by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, documents serious abuses of freedom of thought, conscience, religion, and belief around the world.
Leonard Leo, who heads the bipartisan commission, said the report offered new and important policy solutions to improve conditions where foreign policy, national security, and international standards for the protection of freedom of religion should intersect to promote religious and other freedoms.
