Khartoum: Hamas new representative assumes work
Sudan-Palestine, Politics, 2/25/2004

The new representative for the Hamas movement started his work yesterday in Sudan which is demanded by the USA to close the offices of the Palestinian organizations.

Washington classifies Hamas as a "terrorist" organization and Sudan's desire to keep the office of the movement in Khartoum might stand as an obstacle in the way to lift sanctions imposed by the US on it.

The press official in Hamas in Sudan, Omar Abu Obeid, said that the new representative arrived in Khartoum one week ago but will not be able to start his work until he had submits his credentials for the Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir.

He added " Abu Obeid submitted his credentials to the Republican palace. Hussein said in November that Juma Abdul Fattah, is the new representative for the movement yesterday. But he said yesterday that Abdul Fattah used to work as a charge de affairs before Abu Obeid's arrival.
