{{Main|1983 September laws}}
In September 1983, President Jaafar Nimeiri introduced sharia law in Sudan, known as ''September laws'', symbolically disposing of alcohol and implementing [[hudud punishments]] like public amputations. Al-Turabi supported this move, differing from Al-Sadiq al-Mahdi's dissenting view. Al-Turabi and his allies within the regime also opposed self-rule in the south, a secular constitution, and non-Islamic cultural acceptance. One condition for national reconciliation was re-evaluating the [[Addis Ababa Agreement (1972)|1972 Addis Ababa Agreement]] that granted the [[Southern Sudan Autonomous Region (1972–1983)|south self-governance]], reflecting a failure to accommodate minority rights and leverage Islam's rejection of racism.<ref name=":02">{{Cite web |last=هدهود |first=محمود |date=15 April 2019 |title=تاريخ الحركة الإسلامية في السودان |url=https://www.ida2at.com/history-islamic-movement-sudan/ |access-date=30 August 2023 |website=إضاءات |language=ar |archive-date=28 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230828194009/https://www.ida2at.com/history-islamic-movement-sudan/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> The [[Islamic economics|Islamic economy]] followed in early 1984, eliminating interest and instituting [[zakat]].
