Khojali Osman of Al- Halfaya, Khartoum North, was a popular Sudanese musician, who was known throughout the country for his soothing voice and romantic music.
[1] On November 10, 1994, Suleiman Adam Musa, a known religious fanatic, had gone into the club with intent to kill, under the pretense that he was delivering post to some singers.
Finally, he called out Allah Akbar (God is Great), and declared himself a mujahid, as he carried out the stabbings that led to the death of Khojali Osman.
After the attack, it was revealed that Musa had intended to harm the Sudanese musician, Mohammed Wardi, who was famed for his bold opposition towards the government.
In an interview with Wardi, journalist Brian Scudder wrote: "[Khojali Osman's] death also symbolizes the final collapse of tolerance in a country once renowned for it.
