KABUL: (MEP) Sudan maintained good relations with America after Saudis paid Omar al-Bashir $10 billion for the form of economic, cultural and religious developments.
During the past two years Riyadh and Khartoum relations has grown to such an extent that it can be claimed that Khartoum has become Saudi Arabia’s colony and Omar al-Bashir is obliged to completely obey King Salman.
Omar al-Bashir in his recent visit to Riyadh and during his meeting with King Salman formally requested Saudi Arabia to mediate between Sudan and the United States.
According to leaked reports in the political circles of America, Saudi’s demand to lift sanctions against Sudan was reviewed in U.S. Department of State and America officially reflected its conditions to Khartoum to lift sanctions against Sudan.
US Government has officially asked Sudan to meet US demands to lift sanctions and initiate friendly bilateral relations. The most notably demand is the closure of all official or unofficial Palestinian factions agencies and banning the presence of Palestinians affiliated with Palestinian factions in Sudan. Khartoum officials reportedly expressed their readiness to implement the provisions of the America but asked US to take basic steps to lift sanctions against Sudan that Sudanese officials could rely on that to prepare public opinion for the expulsion of Palestinian groups.
Also through mediation of Saudi Embassy in America, secret meetings with officials from the CIA & U.S. Department of State with Sudanese officials are supposed to be held in Ethiopia. It is anticipated that opening of an Israeli Embassy in Khartoum will be US precondition to remove all sanctions against Sudan and in case America guarantees it Khartoum should not have any obstacle in this regard.
