KHARTOUM Miles Killebrew Lions Jersey , Feb. 18 (Xinhua) -- Sudan on Wednesday welcomed a U.S. decision to partially lift the sanctions imposed on Khartoum in the fields of communications as observers regard the move as indicator for a beginning for a breakthrough in Sudan-U.S. tensed ties.
On Tuesday, the United States Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced that it had decided to loosen U.S. sanctions on Sudan via allowing exports of personal communications hardware and software including smart phones and laptops.
It said the move aimed at helping the Sudanese citizens integrate in the global digital community.
"The relations between Sudan and America can assume their advanced position if the American administration fulfilled its commitments towards Sudan," Ali Karti, Sudan's foreign minister, told reporters here on Wednesday.
"Washington has always failed to fulfil its commitments Anthony Zettel Lions Jersey , but the recent visit of the Sudanese presidential assistant Ibrahim Ghandour to Washington has put the bilateral ties on the right track," he added.
He said Khartoum is expecting the U.S. administration to take steps in the near future, noting that America is convinced that Sudan has many rights and that what has been done was just a beginning for those rights.
He further expressed hope that the ongoing dialogue between the two sides would come up with positive results.
The Sudanese-American relations are currently witnessing signs of breakthrough as the two sides started exchanging visits by senior officials for dialogue to discuss many issues that prevented full normalization of relations between Khartoum and Washington.
After the two recent visits by the Sudanese foreign minister and the Sudanese presidential assiatant to Washington, it has been reported that U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labour Steven Feldstein would visit Sudan next week at the invitation of the Sudanese Foreign Ministry.
To this end T.J. Lang Lions Jersey , Sana Hamad, the official in charge of bilateral and regional relations at the Sudanese Foreign Ministry, was reported by local media as saying that "the visits of the U.S. officials come as part of the communication policy to get the formal information from the Sudanese officials."
The Sudanese diplomatic move towards Washington has started to yield its fruits, she said, pointing out that better results are expected in the future.
In the meantime Darren Fells Lions Jersey , Sudanese observers believe that the direct communication policy adopted by both sides is likely to help in achieving a positive breakthrough and pushing the Sudanese-American ties towards the right path.
"It is apparent that there are signs of a breakthrough in the relationship between Khartoum and Washington. This activity and exchanged visits together with Washington's bid of partial lifting of sanctions represent evidence on a positive development in the bilateral ties," Dr. Mohamed Hassan Seed, Sudanese political analyst, told Xinhua.
"In the past the United States used to adopt the policy of sending envoys to negotiate with the Sudanese government where no envoy has achieved any positive development, but the current direct dialogue is likely to save much time and achieve results on the ground Ricky Wagner Lions Jersey ," he noted.
However, Saeed warned against excessive optimism over immediate full normalization between Khartoum and Washington, saying "excessive optimism must be avoided because the outstanding issues between Khartoum and Washington are thorny and complicated and we learned from experiences not to absolutely trust the American stance."
It cannot be said that the American stance has completely altered after the visit of the Sudanese presidential assistant to Washington on Thursday, he noted.
The U.S. administration clearly condemned Sudan in the UN Security Council over what it said the Sudanese government's crippling of a UN investigation into mass rape accusations in Tobit village in Sudan's North Darfur State, he added.
Mohamed Abdul-Jabar Greg Robinson Lions Jersey , Sudanese political analyst, told Xinhua that the main problem in the Sudanese-American ties is represented in the issues of Blue Nile, South Kordofan and Darfur areas.
"The U.S. insists that it would not normalize its relations with Sudan until the conflicts in South Kodofan and Blue Nile areas and Darfur are resolved," he said.
The United States has been imposing sanctions on Sudan since 1997 and put it on its list of the countries sponsoring terrorism.
