De Britse lerares die in Sudan werd veroordeeld omdat haar leerlingen een teddybeer de naam 'Mohammed' hadden gegeven, is vrijgelaten. Blogger Drima komt met een korte analyse van het commentaar van de Sudanese minister van Buitenlandse Zaken.

Finally! I’m glad she’ll soon be reunited with her loved ones.

While watching this video of the Sudanese minister of foreign affairs speaking about the pardon (yeah, as if she did something wrong), he made an interesting comment which caught my ears.

He was basically saying that they expect to be treated back in the same manner in regards to Muslim Sudanese citizens all over the world locked up unfairly without trial. It’s a hint to Sami al-Hajj and other Sudanese locked up in Guantanamo. Clever.

It looks like al-Bashir could manage to deflect the anger of the hardliners quite well by positioning his act as one supposedly made on the condition for a potential future exchange for the release of Sudanese like Sami al-Hajj.
