The US was in the process of discussions on removing Sudan from the US terror list when the military stepped in on 11 April to depose Omar al-Bashir.
WASHINGTON - The United States will consider removing Sudan from the state sponsor of terrorism list if there are significant changes in its government and after a smooth political transition, a senior State Department official said on Tuesday.
“We will be willing to look at removing Sudan from the list of state sponsors of terrorism if there is significant change in the country and a smooth transition,” the official told Reuters. The Trump administration has suspended talks on normalising relations with Sudan after the military deposed veteran autocrat Omar al-Bashir last week.Washington lifted 20-year-old trade sanctions against Sudan in 2017 and was in the process of discussions on removing it from the US terror list when the military stepped in on 11 April to depose Al-Bashir, who ruled Sudan for 30 years.
The Trump administration suspended the next round of the talks, scheduled for the end of April, after the military said it would enter a two-year period of military rule to be followed by presidential elections.“It is important that the will of the people is respected, and that Sudanese people be allowed a peaceful transition,” the official added.
