Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir has issued a decree suspending the work of a committee set up with the United States to negotiate sanctions relief until 12 October, state-owned media SUNA said on Wednesday.
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday postponed for three months a decision on whether to permanently lift sanctions on Sudan over its human rights record and other issues.
"The Administration is committed to intensifying engagement with the Government of Sudan… including our ongoing dialogue on improving Sudan’s human rights and religious freedom practices," spokesperson Heather Nauert said in a statement.
