Egypt Wants Sudan Off US Terror List

Associated Press

   CAIRO - Egypt's foreign minister on Monday called for more support for
   neighboring Sudan's new civilian-led government, including getting it
   off the U.S. list of countries sponsoring terrorism.

   The U.S. named Sudan as a state sponsor of terrorism in 1993. In one of
   its last acts, the Obama administration began a formal process to
   de-list Sudan. However, this was put on hold when mass protests erupted
   in December against President Omar al-Bashir's three-decade rule, which
   ended when the military ousted him in April.

   Sameh Shoukry said Egypt is now working with Washington to end Sudan's
   international pariah status. The country has a newly installed
   government under a power-sharing agreement between the pro-democracy
   movement and the military, which many feared would cling to power.
