Thanx ya Shabab, I guess this is the reason, Sudan backs Emirati proposal for Saddam to step down: UAE
ABU DHABI, March 4 (AFP) -- Sudan's President Omar al-Beshir expressed support Tuesday for the Emirati proposal for Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein to step down to avoid war, the United Arab Emirates news agency WAM reported.
"The Sudanese president welcomed the proposal of the Emirati president and expressed the backing of Sudan for this initiative," in a telephone call with the president, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan, it said.
WAM said Beshir and Sheikh Zayed reviewed "the results of Saturday's Arab summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt".
Most of the Gulf Arab monarchies have rallied behind the call for the Iraqi president to go into exile and save his people from the horrors of war, despite broader Arab rejection of the Emirati initiative.
Saddam has said he would rather die than quit and his Foreign Minister Naji Sabri branded the exile call US-inspired "bilge."
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) became the first Arab country publicly to urge Saddam to quit when it put forward the proposal at the Sharm el-Sheikh summit. But other Arab leaders refused to even discuss it at the meeting.
