Sudan investment conference called off as US pulls out
Sun Mar 11, 2012 6:30pm GMT Print | Single Page - Text [+]
NO NEW DATE SOON
Diplomats said the conference was unlikely to happen anytime soon with no Western economic aid or debt relief likely to be forthcoming as long as fighting in the two states continued.
"We were surprised by the U.S. request to ask to not get invited to the conference," Ashraqa Said Mahmoud, minister for international cooperation, told reporters in Khartoum.
"The United States has decided to back off from its earlier commitments ... We agreed to postpone this conference until we can guarantee an effective participation."
Fighting broke out in South Kordofan in June and spread to Blue Nile in September. Both states border South Sudan which Khartoum accuses of supporting the SPLM-North rebels. The SPLM is the ruling party in Juba which denies any rebel support.
The two states are home to populations who sided with the South during the civil war and were left on the Sudan side of the border after Juba's secession. (Reporting by Ulf Laessing and Khalid Abdelaziz; Editing by Sophie Hares)
