Arab League calls for end to UN sanctions against Sudan CAIRO, June 6 (AFP) - The Arab League Tuesday gave its backing to Khartoum's efforts to persuade the United Nations to lift the diplomatic sanctions imposed against it for failing to extradite three men suspected of attempting to assassinate Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in 1995. Khartoum has "fulfilled all its commitments stipulated in the resolutions of the UN Security Council" in connection with the issue, said Arab League Secretary General Esmat Abdel Meguid in a statement, stressing "the League's support and solidarity" in response to Sudan's call for the sanctions to be lifted. Abdel Meguid praised "the steps undertaken by the Arab countries in New York, firmly backing Sudan's demand for the sanctions to be lifted," and expressed the hope that the Security Council would examine it "at the soonest possible occasion." He also welcomed Sudan's "positive and constructive" efforts to improve its relations with its African and Arab neighbours. Several Arab and non-aligned countries asked the Security Council Monday to lift the sanctions imposed in April 1996. French UN ambassador Jean-David Levitte joined his colleagues heading those groups to ask the council to meet to discuss the issue as soon as possible. Sudanese UN ambassador Elfatih Erwa pointed out in a letter to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, made public on Monday that Khartoum last month signed six international conventions against terrorism. Sudan's President Omar al-Beshir has in the last six months introduced a series of political changes to oust veteran Islamist ideologue Hassan al-Turabi, and worked to improve both his country's international image and its relations with its neighbours, including Egypt. Sudan has always denied that it was sheltering the men being sought by Ethiopia for the attempt against Mubarak while he was visiting Addis Ababa.
