US may remove Sudan from list of state sponsors of terrorism, but it’s a process: US official 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersWASHINGTON– The United States no longer has an adversarial relationship with the Sudanese government and is working with its counterparts on the possibility of removing it from a list of state sponsors of terrorism, a senior State Department official said on Friday. Asked if the United States was committing to lifting sanctions, Nagy said “No” but added: “There are conditions to such an event. The US government added Sudan to its list of state sponsors of terrorism in 1993 over allegations that then-President Omar al-Bashir’s Islamist government was supporting terrorist groups. A civilian transitional government was formed in August and it agreed with the United States that it could start engaging with international institutions while still on a list of countries deemed sponsors of terrorism.
