    A breakaway faction of Sudan’s Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) has become the first registered group since a multi-party system was reinstated at the beginning of the year, Reuters quoted a leading newspaper as saying yesterday. The private ‘Al-Usbua’ daily published a notice by the registrar saying: “The Democratic Unionist Party is registered as a political organisation which gives it the right to practise political activities and to compete in elections.” The party was registered on Monday. About 30 groups have started registration procedures since the political associations law came into force on 1 January.
