Nemat Abdallah’s appointment is historic not only for Sudan but for all of Africa. She is only the fifth female justice named in Africa.

妮玛特·阿卜杜拉的任命不仅对苏丹，而且对整个非洲都具有历史意义。她是非洲第五位女性大法官。

Wafa Adam works for the non-governmental organization Siha. The group advocates for women’s rights in Sudan. Adam said she is happy that a woman now holds a top position in the country.

瓦法·亚当（Wafa Adam）在非政府组织Siha工作。该组织倡导苏丹的妇女权利。亚当表示，她很高兴现在有女性在这个国家担任最高职位。

She told VOA, “I am very excited about that and she is going to support the women and she is going to advocate for women and laws. We expect her to support the women movements and the women.”

她对美国之音表示：“我对此感到非常兴奋，她将会支持妇女，她将倡导妇女权益和法律。我们期待她支持妇女运动和女性群体。”

Sudan is one of three majority Muslim countries that has not approved the Convention on the Elimination¹ of all Forms of Discrimination against Women, Adam said. She expects Abdallah to approve that treaty and to work to change local Sudanese laws that oppress women.

亚表示，苏丹是尚未批准《消除对妇女一切形式歧视公约》的三个主要穆斯林国家之一。她期待阿卜杜拉批准该条约，并努力改变苏丹当地压迫妇女的法律。

Adam said, “Public order law, family law and criminal law and many laws that are not supporting women’s rights, we request her to advocate for reforming those laws.”

亚当说:“公共秩序法、家庭法、刑法以及许多不支持妇女权利的法律，我们要求她主张对这些法律进行改革。”

Israa Dawood is a young Sudanese woman. She took part in the protests that led to the ouster of former President Omar al-Bashir. She said Abdallah's appointment is historic.

伊萨拉·达乌德（Israa Dawood）是一名年轻的苏丹女性。她参加了导致前总统巴希尔下台的抗议活动。她说，对阿卜杜拉的任命是历史性的。

Dawood told VOA, “Abdallah has played a significant role during the revolution and everybody has pushed for her appointment.”

达乌德告诉美国之音：“阿卜杜拉在那次革命中发挥了重要作用，她的任命是所有人推动的结果。”

Haj Hamad teaches political science at the University of Khartoum. He said Abdallah’s appointment as chief justice proves that most Sudanese trust women’s leadership skills.

哈吉·哈马德（Haj Hamad）在喀土穆大学教授政治学。他说，任命阿卜杜拉为首席大法官证明，大多数苏丹人相信女性的领导能力。

Hamad said that female professionals and leaders occupying influential² positions in Sudan “is a major breakthrough from earlier policies of a different regime in the country.”

哈马德指出，在苏丹担任有影响力职位的女性专业人士和领导人“是该国不同政权早期政策的重大突破”。

Abdallah was first nominated as chief justice soon after military leaders and the opposition³ signed a power-sharing agreement in late August. But Sudan's new executive body instead named a man to the position. Public protests led the council to cancel its decision and appoint Abdallah as chief justice on October 10.

在军方领导人和反对派8月下旬签署权力分享协议后不久，阿卜杜拉首次被提名为首席大法官。但苏丹新的行政机构任命了一名男性担任该职位。公众的抗议迫使该委员会取消了这一决定，并于10月10日任命阿卜杜拉为首席大法官。

Hamad said Abdallah will likely face many difficulties during Sudan’s three-year transitional government. But he added that Abdallah will likely stand firm to defend the country’s constitutional declaration and all of its laws.

哈马称，在苏丹三年的过渡政府期间，阿卜杜拉可能会面临许多困难。但是他补充说，阿卜杜拉可能会坚定地捍卫该国的宪法宣言和所有法律。

Based on the constitutional document signed on August 17, 2019, the chief justice names the judiciary council. The chief justice also heads the judiciary and serves as president of the nation's Supreme⁴ Court.

根据2019年8月17日签署的宪法文件，首席大法官任命司法委员会。首席大法官还领导司法部门，并担任国家最高法院院长。
