Islamists and secularists are virtually at war in Sudan over a recent newspaper article on the condom usage and the concept of the faithfulness among couples. Ms Alnour works for the Al-Tayar, a privately-owned daily newspaper. Furthermore, questions were being raised about the impact of the Alnour discourse on the spread of HIV/Aids in Sudan. In his recent Friday sermon, Mr Al-Gizoli strongly condemned Ms Alnour for her argument about the usage of the condom as a protection against the spread of the HIV/Aids. Sudanese Journalists Network (SJN) condemned the accusations levelled against Ms Alnour terming them a serious threat to the media in Sudan.
