SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Reuters - U.S. sees Sudan as a partner, but ending sanctions is a process - State Dept official
In a short newsflash, Reuters reports that the US assistant secretary for African affairs at the State Department, Tibor Nagy, said that the US no longer has an adversarial relationship with the Sudanese government and sees it as a partner, although removing it from a list of state sponsors of terrorism is a “process.”
Nagy told reporters in a briefing: “It will happen when it happens, as quickly as possible,” but conceded that “it’s not flipping a light switch. It’s a process and we are heavily, continuously engaged with our Sudanese interlocutors on how we can go about doing that.”
