Sudan Events-Follow-Ups
Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Sudan rejects the US Treasury Department’s decision to impose sanctions on Zadna International Company under the pretext of its affiliation to the armed forces.
The ministry said in a statement on Thursday, that targeting any national institution under the pretext of its affiliation to the armed forces can only be understood as an attempt to weaken the national army, and this not only constitutes a threat to Sudan’s stability and unity, but will contribute to the developing risks of terrorism, cross-border crimes, and security chaos in the entire region.
The ministry affirmed that the unjust decision harms the largest national agricultural company, that contributes greatly boosting food security in Sudan and the region.
Adding that the decision was based on flimsy justifications that do not stand up to any serious examination or objective evaluation and included surprising allegations, such as talk about “laundering the forces’ money.” “Armed,” which is a signal that contradicts logic and reason.
The State Department described the matter as reflecting (confusion and contradiction) the position of the American Administration regarding the crisis in Sudan, that has repeatedly confirmed that the terrorist militia is practicing ethnic cleansing and atrocities similar to genocide, in addition to statements by Samantha Power, Director of the United States Agency for International Development ( USAID) in the same vein.
However, the American Administration equates Between the terrorist militia and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) that confronts its terrorism and atrocities against defenseless citizens.
The State Department indicated that the recent report of United Nations UN experts monitoring the implementation of Security Council Resolution No. 1591 revealed those truly responsible for the continuation of the war in Sudan, stressing that if the United States US is serious about stopping the war, it must oblige countries that continue to supply the militia with lethal weapons or facilitate their access to them so that they continue.
In its war against the Sudanese people, it must stop doing so, instead of adopting turbulent and contradictory positions that only encourage the terrorist militia to persist in its crimes.
