27/8/19: Reuters - After U.S. talks, Sudan sees path to lifting sanctions soon, by John Irish

 Reuters reports that Sudan’s prime minister Abdalla Hamdok said he has held useful talks with US officials at the UN General Assembly, expressing hope that Sudan will be removed from the US State Sponsor of Terrorism list “very soon.”

 However, an anonymous European diplomat told Reuters that: “I don’t think the Americans are ready [to delist Sudan] yet. They still think that today’s Sudan must pay for the crimes of yesterday’s Sudan when it comes to legal cases out there related to the terrorist attacks in Nairobi or Dar es Salaam.”

 The diplomat added that “It’s very hard on the Sudanese, so the key is finding a formula to resolve this…If we can unlock that, then it will open the door for the whole (transitional) process.”
