Egypt working to take Sudan off pariah list, Shoukry says: Egypt is working to lobby the US to remove Sudan from its list of terror sponsoring states, Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry told reporters in Khartoum yesterday, according to Sudan News Agency (SUNA). Sudan has been on the list since the early 1990s. Shoukry, who is the first foreign official to visit the country since a new civilian-led government was put in place on Sunday, met with his counterpart Asmaa Abd Allah, new Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, and sovereign council head Abdel Fattah Al Burhan.
