Sudan has slammed US insistence on imposing sanctions over Darfur even as doubts have been raised whether Washington will succeed in its attempts. Speaking to Aljazeera from Khartoum on Wednesday, Sudan's Information Minister Abd al-Basit Sabdrat, commenting on the US threat to impose sanctions on Sudan's oil trade, said Washington judged events on its own terms. The minister was addressing US insistence that the conflict in Darfur amounts to genocide despite a contrary finding by a United Nations fact-finding investigators.He pointed to US allegations on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction which were later proved to be false by committees that Washington itself had constituted, Sabdrat said. Although the International Committee for Investigation in Sudan (ICIS) had found no evidence of alleged genocide, the US was bent on imposing sanctions, the minister said. Explaining Sudan's violations in Darfur listed by the ICIS in its report, the minister said there was a war raging in the region. During any war, laws could get violated and other consequences could follow, he said. The Sudanese government had taken a positive step to form a national judicial committee which submitted its report last week. "We are following up on its recommendations," the minister said. A second committee would study the damage inflicted on the people and a third would solve the issues that had triggered the fighting, he said.
