A new US charge d’affaires for Sudan, Raymond Brown, has been appointed to Sudan, official media reports said on Thursday. Brown will replace Donald Teitelbaum, who has been posted to Uganda. The reports said he would be based in Nairobi, Kenya, and travel regularly to Sudan.
Sudanese deputy Foreign Minister Gebriel Rorec, who met with the two envoys Wednesday, told them of Khartoum’s readiness for “continued” negotiations with the US to “remove obstacles that hinder the normalisation of ties with Washington.”
“We are only asking the US not to create problems in the peace process,” Rorec was quoted as saying. Sudan has accused the United States of offering political and military assistance to the southern opposition group, the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA).
