10/9/19: AP – Egypt wants Sudan off US terror list, by Samy Magdy

AP reports that Egypt foreign minister Sameh Shoukry called for more support for Sudan’s civilian-led government, including getting Sudan off the US list of countries sponsoring terrorism.

 Shoukry said Egypt is now working with Washington to end Sudan’s international pariah status.

“What the Sudanese people have achieved is a role model,” Shoukry told a joint news conference at the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, with Sudan’s first woman foreign minister, Asmaa Abdalla.

 He said Egypt has been working with regional and Western allies to build support for the transitional government and that efforts “to coordinate strongly with the Sudanese government will continue.”
