Why are Sudanese people acting like these things weren't going on during Bashirs regime, at least in secret per se. During his regime there was a big drug problem going on amongst the Sudanese youth.
"Bungo" is the Sudani Arabic word for weed, many of the highly educated Sudanese university students were smoking the drug in their thousands. Not to mention how easy it was to purchase alcohol and illegal drug pills from those elderly Sudanese coffee and tea sellers usually after 7pm at night in places like Nile Street(both of ones in Khartoum and Omdurman), other places like well known street markets like Soug Libya where you could find Sudanese people drinking and smoking dope even after iftar during Ramadan in Sudan.
Not sure why you mentioned the religious police in Sudan as if they properly doing their jobs when half of the time they were taking bribes from people and then letting them off the hook for crimes like zinna and alcohol which was punishable either by lashing or death under Bashirs regime.
Sudanese girls use to dress in short skirts and tight jeans like that normally that was especially the case when you visited upper class neighborhoods in Bahri and Khartoum like Kafouri and Riyadh. 117 and Omak street where liberal upotias in itself especially if you visited those streets at night. You had Ethiopian hookers dressed in abayats waiting to picked up, there were also underground shisha places located on those same streets where people would hold secret parties. You had upscale restaurants in Khartoum like Ozone and Spectra, where you had Sudanese girls who purposely dressed up like western ****s waiting to be picked up by some rich foreign tourist guy.
I have seen forums online where even foreign UN expats in Sudan use to boost about how easy it was for them to be able to sneak in bottles of wine back into their gated houses in Khartoum.
Sudan certaintly wasn't this ultra religious and conservative state under Bashirs government. His government allowed alot of haram filth to happen in the country.
