Sudan: ‘Removal from terrorism list nothing to do with normalisation’

Sudan’s Acting Minister of Finance and Economic Planning has said that the country’s removal from the US list of “countries supporting terrorism” is because it paid compensation to the families of US citizens who were killed in Africa in 1998, and not any promise to normalise relations with Zionist regime.

Heba Mohammed Ali made her comment at a press conference discussing Sudan’s relations with the United States.

She revealed that the government in Khartoum was made to pay about $700 million to Washington. Nevertheless, she expressed her appreciation of the US promise to remove Sudan from the terror list.
