Sudan Denies US Resolution Restricting its Activities within UN
Washington – Sudanhorizon
The Sudanese Ambassador to Washington, Mohamed Abdullah Idris, has denied that the US House of Representatives passed a resolution obliging the US administration to use its influence for restricting Sudan’s activities at the United Nations and other multilateral international organizations.
The ambassador’s remarks, carried by the Sudan News Agency, came in response to reports circulating on social media regarding a proposed resolution submitted to the US House of Representatives.
The ambassador explained that what actually happened was that Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington State proposed an amendment to a House resolution outlining general guidelines for US State Department policy.
This amendment, as reported on social media, would have required the US Administration to work to restrict Sudan’s international engagement. However, Representative Jayapal’s amendment was rejected by the House Foreign Affairs Committee along with other amendments submitted by other committee members.
He emphasized that the final draft of the resolution did not include any mention of Sudan.
In the same context, Ambassador Mohamed Abdullah Idris stressed that the principles of multilateral diplomacy are based on respect for the will of peoples and the sovereignty of states, and are not subject to the unilateral judgment of any single country.
He also affirmed that the declared position of the United States is to respect the sovereignty of Sudan, its territorial integrity, and the will of the Sudanese people.
He reiterated the call on the United States and the international community to designate the rebel militia as a terrorist organization and to pressure it to lift the siege on the residents of al- Fasherr and to stop the genocide it is committing against the Sudanese people, including the recent massacre of worshipers at the Al-Daraja mosque in Fasher, which left more than 75 people dead.
