The US has sent its first ambassador to Sudan in 25 years, this comes two years after it removed it from the list of countries that sponsor terrorism.
US ambassador to Sudan on Wednesday confirmed that he was delighted to be there and looked forward to supporting the Sudanese people’s transition to democracy.
Sudan was added to the list of countries that sponsor terrorism in 1993 after allegations that it was al-Qaeda’s ally, whose founder and leader at the time Osama bin Laden lived in Sudan from 1992 to 1996.
In 1997, the US downgraded representation in Sudan from ambassador to the level of charge d’affaires and imposed economic sanctions.
