U.S. Offers to Drop Sudan from List of Terrorist Nations
--------------------------------------------------------



In news from Africa, the Obama administration is offering to drop Sudan
from its list of state sponsors of terrorism as early as next July if
Khartoum ensures two key referendums take place on schedule in January.
Sudan’s two parallel referendums could see southern Sudan secede to
become Africa’s newest state and decide whether the disputed oil-rich
territory of Abyei joins the north or the south.
