Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party – Region Of Sudan
The Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party – Region of Sudan (Arabic: حزب البعث العربي الاشتراكي - وطن في السودان ''Ḥizb al-Ba‘th al-‘Arabī al-Ishtirākī - Waṭan fī al-Sūdān''), previously known as the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party – Country of Sudan, is a political party in Sudan. The party is the Sudanese regional branch of the Iraqi-led Ba'ath Party in Sudan.

In 1990, the party was composed largely of students who had studied in Ba'athist Iraq. The party, which was sma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
