Osman Kebir
Osman Kebir, also known as Osman Mohamed Yousif Kibir, is the governor of the North Darfur province of Sudan. He was previously the governor of North Darfur. In September 2018, Kebir was appointed as the Second Vice President of Sudan. He has publicly denied that the Janjaweed had any link to the government. In October 2004, he accused numerous international organizations and observers of the Darfur conflict of bias against the Sudanese government. Kofi Annan met him in provincial capital El Fasher in 2004, to call on protection of Darfur villagers. At the beginning of December 2010, Kebir began an offensive against the towns in which the SLA-MM had a presence. The initial goal of crushing the rebels became an excuse to brutalize the Zaghawa population. Kebir armed and encouraged non-Zaghawa populations to fight and expel Zaghawas. Between March–June 2011, a large number of Zaghawas were displaced as a result of their indiscriminate aerial bombardments on Jabal Marra. During ...

Vice President Of Sudan
The vice president of Sudan is the second highest political position obtainable in Sudan.

Historically (in the 1972–1983 and 2005–2011 periods) either the ''first'' or the ''second'' vice president was from Southern Sudan (now independent South Sudan). From 2011 until the abolition of the post in 2019, the ''second'' vice president was from Darfur.

Vice Presidents Of Sudan
A vice is a practice, behaviour, or habit generally considered immoral, sinful, criminal, rude, taboo, depraved, degrading, deviant or perverted in the associated society. In more minor usage, vice can refer to a fault, a negative character trait, a defect, an infirmity, or a bad or unhealthy habit. Vices are usually associated with a transgression in a person's character or temperament rather than their morality. Synonyms for vice include fault, sin, depravity, iniquity, wickedness, and corruption. The antonym of vice is virtue. Etymology The modern English term that best captures its original meaning is the word ''vicious'', which means "full of vice". In this sense, the word ''vice'' comes from the Latin word '' vitium'', meaning "failing or defect". Law enforcement Depending on the country or jurisdiction, vice crimes may or may not be treated as a separate category in the criminal codes.

Year Of Birth Missing (living People)
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tunjur People
__NOTOC__ The Tunjur (or Tungur) people are a Sunni Muslim ethnic group living in eastern Chad and western Sudan. In the 21st century, their number has been estimated at 175.000 people. History Based on linguistic and archaeological evidence, the ethnic ancestry of the Tunjur people has been argued by contemporary archaeologist Claude Rilly to go back to a Nubian Christian past. Thus, Rilly claims that the name Tunjur goes back to the town of Dongola (Tungul or Old Dongola, where Tungur name is derived from Tungul, the old name of Dongola) in Nubia. According to their own oral traditions and other scholars, they are of Arab descent, whose ancestors migrated from the Arabian Peninsula to central Sudan either by way of North Africa and Tunis or by way of Nubia. Thus, the 19th century German explorer Gustav Nachtigal claimed they resemble Arabs in features and behaviour, but this impression has been refuted by modern scholars. Although a minority, the Tunjur became the ruling c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
