Britain trying to restore diplomatic relations

Britain is trying to restore diplomatic relations with Khartoum damaged last year by the US bombing of a pharmaceutical factory, a foreign office minister said yesterday. “We have been in contact with the Sudanese to see if we can remedy the situation,” Baroness Liz Symons said in a written answer to a parliamentary question, news organisations reported. 11 political organisations seek registration A political organisation representing Nuba people has applied for registration as a political party, Reuters reported yesterday. The Sudanese National Party of veteran Nuba politician Reverend Philip Gabboush on Sunday became the 11th political association to register, the dispatch said. However, apart from a splinter group of the Democratic Unionist Party, Sudan’s main opposition groups have boycotted the process.
