Sudan participates in ‘AFRICOM’ for first time APA-Khartoum (Sudan)
The Sudanese army is participating, for the first time, in meetings of the United States Africa Command known as “AFRICOM”, this time being held in Germany.
Img : Sudan participates in ‘AFRICOM’ for first time Sudanese army spokesperson Ahmed Khalifa on Monday announced the army chief of general staff, Lt. Gen. Emad al-Din Mustafa Adawi, has left Khartoum for the meeting of AFRICOM chiefs of general staff in Stuttgart, Germany.
The spokeperson described Sudan's participation in the meeting as a step towards removing its name from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terror, and the full lifting of economic sanctions.
Sudan’s participation in “AFRICOM” meetings was shunned in the past, because the country is designated by the U.S. as a state sponsor of terror. “They used to see Sudan unworthy of participation under this designation”, he said in a statement.
"The participation in the meeting came as a result of the great efforts led by the political consultation committee between Khartoum and Washington”, he added.
"Khartoum’s efforts to combat cross-border crimes, as well as the opening up of relations with the Arab Gulf States drew attention to Sudan as an influential country, regionally and internationally.
Also, the strategic partnerships and joint forces with some African countries “drew attention to Sudan as an influential country regionally and internationally”, he continued.
