Sudanese Foreign Minister Dr Ali Yusuf revealed more details about the measures the government will take against Kenya and recalled its ambassador. He stated that the next step would be to ban Kenyan airlines from crossing Sudanese airspace and halt the import of tea, for which Sudan is the second-largest importer. He suggested that Kenya’s backtracking on its diplomatic commitments was due to pressure and possibly bribes from countries supporting the militia, hinting that the UAE is behind mobilizing support for the militia.
In an interview broadcast today by the British channel (BBC), Yusuf confirmed that the Sudanese Armed Forces have regained 80% of the territories previously controlled by the militia. He pointed out that the next phase, having fully liberated the capital, will be to clear the Darfur states. The minister assured that the decisive victory is very near and called on the militia to surrender.
The Foreign Minister stated that the agreement with Russia concerning the Red Sea is old and pertains to an area designated for providing services to Russian ships. He noted that the agreement must be ratified by an elected parliament and described Sudanese-Russian relations as good.
