Sudan 'regrets' tone of US travel advisory

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.

It stressed, "the great change brought about by the glorious revolution of December 2018" that led to longtime leader Omar al-Bashir's ouster, saying Khartoum "regrets" the wording of Thursday's advisory. 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"."Demonstrations can occur with no warning," although recent protests had been "peaceful with no police response".

Pompeo has repeatedly indicated Washington hopes to remove the designation, which dents investment in Sudan, but disputes have arisen on compensation over the 1998 bombings of two US embassies in Africa.
