SUDAN, 22 September, 2020, (TON): Blackmailed over the continuous sanctions on Sudan, Khartoum seems ready to negotiate over peace deal with Israel over lifting of sanctions.

 A high-level delegation led by the head of Sudan's ruling council has travelled to the United Arab Emirates for separate talks with Emirati and US officials, including discussions on its removal from the US's list of countries that sponsor terrorism.

The Sudanese state news agency SUNA said yesterday, General Abdel-Fattah al-Burhan, head of the sovereign council has been in charge, following the overthrow of President Omar al-Bashir last year, will hold talks with the UAE's leadership on various regional issues related to Sudan.

Meanwhile, Sudanese Justice Minister Naser-Eddin Abdelbari met US officials in Abu Dhabi to discuss the removal of name of Sudan from the list of states sponsoring terrorism as well as writing off American debts on Sudan. For these favours, sign normalization agreement between Sudan and Israel.

Media report suggests Washington is prepared to allow $3bn in humanitarian assistance and direct budgetary aid in return for a deal with Israel. In addition, US and the UAE will be providing Sudan with economic aid over the next three years.

It is to be realized that as a plot Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir was deposed by the army and they decided to hand over him to the International Criminal Court (ICC) to face genocide and war crimes. However, the present Sudanese government of Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok does not possess a mandate of bringing 180 degree change in Sudan’s Foreign Policy and the new government will decide after the end of the transitional period and the elections, planned in 2022.
