Who was Khalil Ibrahim?
I have a little look around the internet to find out who is actually Khalil Ibrahim, was named after the mosque in Hamburg. It seems that he seems to be a radical Sudanese Islamist, who tried to spread Islam by military means in the whole Sudan. And he appears to be a power-hungry politicians.
belongs to the Kobe Zaghawa sub-group. Zaghawa is the name of a black African people living in eastern Chad and the neighboring Darfur in Sudan. The Zaghawa are culturally Arabized in part (Islamic rule). Khalil Ibrahim was the leader of the rebel Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), which in the Darfur conflict in western Sudan and eastern Chad's civil war against the Sudanese government led. The JEM was founded in 1999 as an opposition movement against the government of al-Bashir in Khartoum, as this the fundamentalist Islamist National Islamic Front (NIF) by Hasan at-Turabi excluded from the government.
Khalil Ibrahim was regarded as an enthusiastic supporter of the "National Islamic Front (NIF), under the ideological leadership of Hassan al-Turabi from 1989 to 1999 in government Khartoum was involved. Hassan al-Turabi is a member of the Islamic fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, which he in Sudan protrudes. Khalil served 1991-1994 as Minister of Education of the State of North Darfur. As a physician Khalil Ibrahim in 1992, spent four months as a volunteer in the "Popular Defence Forces," a voluntary, uniformed paramilitary unit to the government of Sudan, who wanted to introduce in the south of Sudan Sharia. The "Popular Defence Forces" conducted in the predominantly Christian south of Sudan a "holy war" against the Christian majority.
began after Khalil's own words his dissatisfaction with the Islamist movement in 1993 when he, the neglect of economic development through the NIF (National Islamic Front) observed, as he was disappointed by their (limited) support for armed militias. At that time he joined a "sleeper cell" of the Islamists, who attempted to modify the NIF from within. (Source: Khalil Ibrahim )
