Qatar has welcomed US President Donald Trump’s announcement of his intention to remove Sudan from the list of state sponsors of terrorism.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) said Qatar looks forward to the completion of the procedures to remove Sudan from the US list as soon as possible. The ministry expressed hope that the step would contribute to supporting the democratic transition process in Sudan.
The statement renewed Qatar’s support for Sudan and the aspirations of its brotherly people to achieve economic stability, progress and prosperity.
On Monday, Trump said he was ready to remove Sudan from a US blacklist of state sponsors of terrorism, a landmark boost for the civilian-backed government as it turns the page on the nation’s decades as an international pariah.
Trump said that Sudan, which has sought the delisting for years, had agreed to a $335 million compensation package for victims and relatives of past attacks. “At long last, JUSTICE for the American people and BIG step for Sudan!” Trump wrote on Twitter, vowing to delist Sudan as soon as the compensation is “deposited.”
Sudan is one of four nations branded by Washington as a state sponsor of terrorism, along with Iran, North Korea and Syria — severely impeding economic development, with few major foreign investors willing to run afoul of US laws.
