SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Sudan Tribune - Military participation should not obstruct Sudan’s removal from U.S. terror list: Hamdok
Sudan Tribune reports that Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok has called on the US to put aside their concerns about the participation of the military in Sudan’s transitional authority, and to back Sudanese people through the removal of sanctions.
Hamdok made his call on Thursday at the Atlantic Council in Washington after meetings with US officials, who doubt that regime change has taken place in Sudan despite the formation of a civilian government.
Hamdok said that the military and civilians are working closely to achieve the tasks of the transitional government and the goals of the Sudanese revolution: freedom, peace and justice. Hamdok called on the US to back the Sudanese democratic transition, rather than refuse to cooperate with it due to the involvement of remnants of al-Bashir’s regime.
Hamdok also denied that the military members of the Sovereign Council opposed the dissolution of the former ruling National Congress Party.
