Sudan 'regrets' tone of US travel advisory over Covid-19, civil unrest

Khartoum protests

What you need to know:

  • In a standard advisory, the State Department called on US citizens to "reconsider travel to Sudan due to Covid-19... crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping and armed conflict".
  • In contrast, Sudan's government this week welcomed remarks from US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that he would like to delist Sudan as a state sponsor of terrorism.

Khartoum,

Sudan said Saturday it "regrets" the tone of the latest US State Department advisory against travel to the country, saying it does not take into account changes of the post-Bashir era.
