So much money wasted on flags

Dr. Hassan al-Turabi a leading Sudanese scholar, politician and thinker. He co-founded the National Congress Party NCP. But him and al-Bashir the Sudanese president disagreed and that led to his expulsion and imprisonment several times. He leads the National Popular party. He is a strong advocate of Sharia Islamic ruling. He is also a strong supporter of the Darfurian quest for justice, the leader of the JEM movement is one of his followers. He is also in favor for the South to gain independence but through peaceful means. I interviewed him and he is a very charismatic character but a true politician that knows how to avoid questions by given two contradicting answers... He is loved and loathed by many Sudanese.
