From a historical and descriptive point of view, it examines the success of the Revolutionary Command Council for National Salvation Revolution and the strategy of repression carried out by the central Government through the policy of «islamic call». This text also points out the evolution of power relations within the Government and the disagreements and disputes that culminated in the dismiss of its main civil islamist intellectual: Hassan al-Turabi. In the end, it indicated the victory of the Bashir’s islamist officers over the Turabi’s islamist bureaucrats.
