August 8, 2020 (Khartoum)The Sudanese transitional government has
called on US government to be careful in warning its citizens against
traveling to Sudan, urging it to continue its role in pushing forward
the process of constructive bilateral high-level dialogue in order to
normalize relations of the two friendly countries.
Washington’s warning, which was issued on Thursday, comes within the
framework of the periodic update of travel advice for American
citizens to different countries of the world, with reference to the
health and security conditions in the country concerned.
The American report warned of the presence of terrorist elements and
pockets that target to assassinate and abduct Western nationals in
Sudan.
The warning contained a negative indication of the possibility that
the Sudanese police forces and the rest of the security services would
use violence to suppress the peaceful demonstrations that occurs in
the country from time to time.
In a statement received by Darfur24, the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign
Affairs Saturday, expressed its reservation on the US State
Department’s warning, issued on Thursday, August 6, 2020 AD, for its
citizens to reconsider traveling to Sudan, on the grounds of possible
kidnappings, armed robbery as well as home and car burglary.
However, the ministry referred to the great change created by the
glorious December revolution in Sudan, the atmosphere of political
stability, the freedom of demonstrations and the protection of the
lives and rights of Sudanese citizens and foreigners alike, pointing
out that the current peace negotiations with the armed struggle
movements reinforce the trend for achieving stability in all parts of
the country.
The statement pointed out that the civilian transitional government in
Sudan is devoting itself to implement the principles of freedom, human
rights, peaceful demonstrations under observation of the police forces
to protect peaceful demonstrators and to prevent sabotage and to
maintain public security so that the citizens feel security and
tranquility.
