من هو السفير نورالدين ساتي!

Quote: Dear Nureddin, Thank you for your kind words about me on Sudeseonline that I have not been able to access to make my comments. I hope all the family is well and I look forward to see you when I return to DC for my next medical check-up in late March. I assure you, dear brother, that I have nothing to do with the Black Madonna gift by president Bashir to the late Pope John-Paul II. I have not been consulted or informed about that gift and had I been consulted, I wouldn't have made such an advice to give away one of our national treasures to the Pope. You may well know that when I was ambassador to France, I played a major role in organizing the land-mark exhibition titles: "Sudan: Ancient Kingdoms on The Nile". I am sure you have seen the catalogue of the exhibition that was produced in the form of a book in English, Arabic, French, German, Dutch and Spanish. I am, in principle, opposed to giving away our national treasures to others and I would do all I can to repatriate our stolen treasures. I have also played a significant role, when I represented UNESCO in Ethiopia, in the reinstallation of the Axum obelisk, which was repatriated from Italy a few of years back. I would very much like to remain in close contact with you and to contribute in any possible manner to your Nubia projects. My regards to Asmaa and to the family. With my best wishes of a Happy New Year 2010. Nureldin PS. I have the greatest respect for the Nageela family. The late Hassan Nageela and my father met for first time in the late thirties of last century, I think that it was in Singa, if I am not mistaken when my father was a young medical officer. Asim Hassan Nageela is someone I know well.. I did not have the pleasure of meeting with the younger Nageela generation but I will make it a point to do so when I next come to Arizona.[/QUOTE[/ ] ..
