Faris Al-Nour Ibrahim, the newly appointed Governor of Khartoum state, has issued his first official decree, granting land and funding for the full reconstruction of the Pentecostal Church in Khartoum. The state government will cover all expenses for the project.
The decree, announced just a day after the Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS) unveiled its “Peace Government,” comes as compensation for the church that was destroyed and vandalized last month by remnants of the former regime linked to the Islamic Movement.
In a statement posted on his official Facebook page, Al-Nour said the decision reflects a new political era based on justice, equal citizenship, and respect for human dignity under the leadership of Lt. Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, Chairman of the Presidential Council.
“This decree is not just an administrative action but a moral stance,” Al-Nour said. “It embodies the core vision of the Sudan Founding Alliance, which seeks to build a democratic, secular, and decentralized state united by freedom, justice, and equality.”
He stressed that the initiative is meant to rebuild trust among Sudanese communities:
“We are not only rebuilding walls; we are rebuilding trust, sending a clear message that the new Khartoum will be a city that welcomes every minaret, every church bell, and every conscience.”
Al-Nour added that the Peace and Unity Government is committed to creating a Sudan free from terrorism, exclusion, and division—a state ruled by law and dedicated to protecting human dignity.
Faris Al-Nour, a member of the Presidential Council, was appointed Governor of Khartoum under the Peace Government announced by TASIS in Nyala. The formation of the new administration has sparked supportive demonstrations in several Sudanese cities.
