Sudan will close office of terrorist groups Hezbollah, Hamas
2019-12-16
[Jpost] The Sudanese transitional government is slated to close the offices of the foreign terrorist organizations, Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede, and Hezbollah, according to a report in the Middle East Eye.

The Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
regime financed Middle East Eye reported that "A reliable Sudanese source close to [Prime Minister Abdallah] Hamdok's office disclosed to Middle East Eye that the government will close the offices of foreign groups designated as bandidos hard boyz by the US, including Hamas and Hezbollah."

According to the report, "The Sudanese source who spoke to MEE, who asked for anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media, said: "The government will close the offices of Hamas and Hezbollah and any other Islamic group designated as terrorist groups that has presence in Sudan, because Sudan has nothing actually to do with these groups and the interests of Sudan are above everything."

The Sudanese source added "Actually they have hidden their presence in the past few years but we won't tolerate any individual's presence in the future."

The outlet said the action to evict Hamas and Hezbollah from the north African country was meant to convince the United States government to de-list Sudan as a state-sponsor of terrorism. The United States proscribed Sudan a state-sponsor of terrorism in 1993.

In early December, the US and Sudan agreed to begin exchanging ambassadors again after a period of more than two decades. US-Sudan relations have improved since the Sudanese people overthrew the dictatorship of former president Omar al-Bashir
...Former President-for-Life of Sudan He came to power in 1989 when he, as a brigadier in the Sudanese army, led a group of officers in a bloodless military coup that ousted the government of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi and eventually appointed himself head cheese. He fell out with his Islamic mentor, Hasan al-Turabi, tried to impose shariah on the Christian and animist south, resulting in its secessesion, and attempted to Arabize Darfur by unleashing the barbaric Janjaweed on it. Sudan's potential prosperity has been pissed away in warfare that has left as many as 400,000 people dead and 2.5 million displaced. Hee was overthrown by popular consent in 2019. Omar has been indicted for genocide by the International Criminal Court but nothing is expected to come of it...
The US listed Sudan a state-sponsor of terrorism in 1993 after it hosted the dear departed al-Qaeda leader the late Osama bin Laden
...... who is now neither a strong horse nor a weak horse, but a dead horse......
US Secretary of State Pompeo did not address the terrorism classification at the time of Abdallah’s December visit.

The US government said that Sudan has still not met the conditions for being de-listed from its terrorism list but the country is making progress.

Sudan accused Israel of carrying out an air strike that killed two people in a car near the city of Port Sudan in 2011. In 2009, Sudan said a convoy of people smugglers was hit by unidentified aircraft in Sudan

The then-Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert said at the time: "We operate everywhere where we can hit terror infrastructure - in close places and in places further away."

Arms smugglers have used Sudan as a pipeline to send weapons to Hamas-controlled Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

In May, a Sudanese general announced a shift in its foreign policy to back Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage.

instead of its traditional ally Iran. "Sudan is standing with the kingdom against all threats and attacks from Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...

According to the US State Department entry on terrorism, "Sudan broke diplomatic relations with the United States in 1967 after the start of the Arab-Israeli War. Relations were reestablished in 1972. Sudan established links with international terrorist organizations resulting in the United States’ designation of Sudan as a State Sponsor of Terrorism in 1993 and the suspension of U.S. Embassy operations in 1996. The U.S. Embassy was reopened in 2002."

#1  And thus ends a pernicious 30 year Sudan-Iran and Sudan-Hamas alliance that began within weeks of the Sudanese Islamist revolution of 1989. Hasan al-Turabi's effort to meld the Sudanese Sunni circle and the Iranian Shiite square has failed.
