ROME — Meriam Ibrahim, the Sudanese Christian who was flown to Rome after her death sentence was overturned, is now dreaming of building a future in the U.S.
“We will begin a new life,” Ibrahim told Antonella Napoli, head of Italians for Darfur, according to the daily La Repubblica.
“My husband, a chemist, lost his job because of my event. Now we will go to New Hampshire where my brother-in-law Gabriel lives. They will help us. We will be all together as a true family.”
Ibrahim, 27, was spared a death sentence for apostasy and then barred from leaving Sudan.
She was flown to Rome in secret by the Italian government on Thursday (July 24) with husband Daniel Wani, her 20-month-old son Martin, and daughter Maya, who was born in a Khartoum prison two months ago.
Wani has joint Sudanese-American citizenship and the family is expected to fly to the U.S. in the coming days.
Within hours of landing in Italy, Ibrahim and her family met with Pope Francis, who thanked her for her courage and staying true to her faith despite the threat of execution.

Glad to hear that she is finally out of those psycho’s clutches.
Somebody explain to Obama that this is the sort of thing we grant amnesty for.
They finally got out of that shithole? Hot dang! How long were they in custody after being arrested at the airport?
Awesome news..wish her and her family the very best!!
Nah, she’s a Christian, plus has principles she’s not willing to negotiate on. She’d never vote Democrat.
If Obama welcomes her to the WhiteHouse I will be shocked.
If she doesn’t have all her paperwork in order, Obastard will have her deported back to the Sudan in a heartbeat.
I pray this woman and her family live a long and happy life.
She’s an American citizen and the worthless American government did squat to help her. It took the Italians to get her out of danger.
This is just too embarrassing.
Even Carter was better than this.
Why not choose “Live Free or Die” New Hampshire, especially when you have ruled out the latter. Live Free, Meriam.
Never, never, never, never, never visit a Muslim country.
RE: Why not choose “Live Free or Die” New Hampshire, especially when you have ruled out the latter.
That used to be a very appropriate motto for NH. Now, looking at their candidates for Senate and the way they voted in 2012, apparently, the state has chose the latter.
Her husband has American citizenship as do her children which they got from their father. She is not a citizen.
Do you honestly believes that effing islamist ass gives a damn?
Her husband was the American citizen.
