KHARTOUM, Oct 31 (KUNA) -- Sudan and the US signed an agreement to restore the country's sovereign immunity in Washington late Friday, while the US announced providing USD 60 million worth of aid for Sudan.
According to Sudan News Agency (SUNA), the agreement included settling terrorism cases against Sudan and previous cases demanding the country to pay compensations worth USD ten billion for victims of terrorist attacks.
The agreement is part of the US pledge to remove Sudan from its list of state sponsors of terrorism, dating back to toppled president Omar Al-Bashir, who Washington believed was supporting militant groups.
The decision was signed by President Donald Trump on October 23, and will come into effect after 45 days, if not opposed by the Congress.
Sudan was listed in terror-supporting countries since 1993. (end)
