Al-gadarif: Minister of Justice Dr. Abdullah Dirif on Friday met with the Chief Prosecutor of Al-Gadarif State, Muawiya Al-Haj Abdel-Majid, as part of his visit to the state.
According to Sudan News Agency, the Minister expressed his satisfaction with visiting the Public Prosecution in Al-Gadarif, noting its significant role before and after the war in enforcing the rule of law and maintaining security, which contributed to improved stability. He revealed that more than 1,000 cases were registered in the first quarter of this year, including war-related fires, crimes against humanity, and offences against the state. He added that many cases have been referred to the courts, with prosecutors actively representing the public interest, and that more than 700 cases have already been adjudicated.
He affirmed that the role of the prosecution is no less important than that of fighters in the field, pointing to close and well-structured coordination between the Ministry of Justice and the Attorney General, particularly on joint files within the National Committee for the Investigation of Violations of National Law and International Humanitarian Law, as well as the National Committee on International Humanitarian Law.
For his part, the Chief Prosecutor briefed the Minister on the work of the prosecution in the state, noting ongoing coordination with the legal administration across multiple cases. He said operations are proceeding smoothly despite the impact of the war, adding that both the prosecution and legal administration participate in all state-level activities. He described the Minister's visit as a reflection of institutional complementarity between the Ministry of Justice and the Public Prosecution.
The Minister also met with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and Head of the Judiciary in Al-Gadarif State, Berair Omar Berair.
He stated that the visit aims to reinforce coordination, cooperation, and the exchange of knowledge and expertise between the Ministry of Justice and the judiciary, underscoring that the judiciary is best positioned to provide insights into legal reform through practical application, which helps reveal legislative gaps and assess laws based on judicial precedents and implementation.
Berair praised the government for appointing Dr. Dirif as Minister of Justice, describing him as an academic, researcher, and seasoned legal expert, and commended the role of legal advisers in providing legal support.
The Minister reaffirmed the need to strengthen coordination and cooperation among judicial institutions to ensure the delivery of justice and serve the nation.
