Sudanese officials said Saturday they are working to criminalize the widespread practice of female genital mutilation after the transitional government approved a landmark draft law.

Under the proposed amendment to the criminal code, anyone found guilty of performing the procedure would be sentenced to up to three years in prison, according to a copy obtained by The Associated Press.

The law must still be ratified by a joint meeting of the Cabinet and the sovereign council, which assumed power after last year’s overthrow of longtime President Omar al-Bashir.

Sudan turning out better than South Sudan is definitely not something one would've expected.

I wouldn’t say this too quickly, as there is now a peace process in South Sudan. I think that now things will turn around for both nations as the internal conflicts are now sorting themselves out.
