The United States would remove Sudan from the list
of state sponsors of terrorism, US News quoted a senior State Department
official as saying.
But Tibor Nagy, the assistant secretary for African
affairs, cautioned that doing so was a process with conditions.
"It's not an event, 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," he said
The US government added Sudan to its list of state
sponsors of terrorism in 1993 over allegations that then-President Omar al
Bashir's government was supporting terrorist groups.
