Khartoum criticizes prolonging of US economic sanctions

Sudan protested yesterday against prolonging the economic embargo imposed by US President Bill Clinton last year in retaliation to Khartoum's support of terrorism.

Sudanese official sources said that the decision to prolong the sanctions comes as a campaign organized by Washington to shake the economic structure for the country as well as damaging Sudan's image.

The sources added that prolonging the sanctions contradicts with US statements regarding the resumption of discussions with Sudan and that all of this proves that the discussions with the US are of no significance.
