“We took corporate responsibility on addressing these claims and reaching an agreement on them,” Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok told the Wall Street Journal in the US last week. “We are waiting for a serious counter-proposal from the prime minister,” added the attorney who specialises in terrorism-related cases. In order to be removed from the terrorism list, Sudan must meet a series of US conditions, including payments to the embassy bomb victims. Mr Hamdok was appointed prime minister in August in the wake of an uprising that topped long-ruling Sudan dictator Omar al-Bashir. Mr Mairone, however, is not convinced that the prime minister will make good on his stated intentions.
