US president extends sanctions on Sudan

US President George Bush on Tuesday signed a decision provided for extending sanctions on Sudan. The decision includes the old list which considers the practices of the government of Sudan as a constituting a danger on the US foreign policy and national security, especially the support and aid provided and ensured by the government of Sudan for "terrorist organizations" like the Hamas movement and the Islamic Jihad movement as well as Sudan's continued violations of human rights and harassing religious and political freedoms.

This US decision will be valid as from today until one year.
