Khartoum seeks restoration of ties with Washington

    ABIDJAN
    The Sudanese government has said that it hoped diplomatic relations with the United States would be fully restored. In a statement released by its embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, on Saturday, it said: “The government of Sudan hopes that reason will prevail in the US external policy towards Sudan and that the current US-Sudan dialogue will embrace all issues, including bilateral matters in order to pave the way for the full restoration of diplomatic ties between Sudan and the US.” It said the statement had been timed to coincide with the second anniversary of the “unprovoked” US missile attack on a pharmaceutical plant. The attack followed bomb blasts which destroyed the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
