From Times Staff and Wire Reports

The military rulers of Sudan are planning to revive Islamic sharia laws, Sudanese and diplomatic sources in Khartoum said. The Islamic laws are fiercely opposed by non-Muslim rebels fighting a civil war in the south, and their revival in the mainly Arab and Muslim north would diminish hopes of peace. The Sudan People’s Liberation Army has been fighting a civil war since 1983 in the Christian and animist south.
