Arab Parliament renews calls for lifting Sudan from terror list
February/11 | am:10:00 / No Comments 85 viewsThe Arab Parliament’s speaker, Mishaal Al-Salami, yesterday renewed its calls to the United States, demanding the removal of Sudan from the American terror list.
Speaking at a session held at Arab League’s headquarters in the Egyptian capital of Cairo, Al-Salami said that Sudan had fulfilled the requirements agreed earlier by Washington to lift its name from the US’ “State Sponsors of Terrorism” list, which the North African country has been placed on since 1993.
The session – dedicated for Sudan – was attended by the president of Sudan’s National Assembly, Ibrahim Ahmed Omer, as well as a number of the Arab parliaments’ representatives.
Al-Salami reiterated that the meeting was held to support what he described as “just demand of lifting Sudan from the American list of state sponsors of terrorism.”
“In cooperation with Sudan’s National Assembly and foreign ministry, the Arab Parliament has prepared a legal note, comprising all the matter’s aspects and what has been achieved by the Sudanese government,” Al-Salami pointed out.
