Sudanese president criticizes US policy

The Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir on Wednesday criticized Mauritius for ignoring the African unanimous stand on nominating his country to win a seat at the UN Security Council at a request from the US.

At Lusaka's airport, the Sudanese president added that the US has been always against Sudan. He stressed that this US behavior in " using an African state to prevent us from taking what is our right is not justified."

He explained that this African country ( Mauritius ) approved the US nomination to get a seat at the UN Security Council, ignoring the African consensus.
