Coons welcomes decision to remove Sudan from State Sponsor of Terrorism List | 2020-12-15 | 2020 | 2020-12 | Democrat | House | DE | Christopher Coons | C001088 | www.coons.senate.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,released the following statement on the U.S. government's decision to remove Sudan from a list of State Sponsors of Terrorism. Sudan's removal from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list is a welcome and historic step forward in the U.S.-Sudan relationship. In 2019, after 30 years of brutal rule by the dictatorship of Omar al Bashir, the Sudanese people undertook tremendous risk and sacrifice to lead a peaceful revolution and demand a brighter future. Sudan's transitional government under the leadership of Prime Minister Hamdok has continued to take steps to earn this delisting, and I am pleased to see the removal of this barrier to Sudan's ability to participate in the international community. I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to continue to strengthen and deepen ties with Sudan to help the country build on the progress of this announcement. We should start with Congress coming together with the executive branch to pass legal peace for Sudan as soon as possible in a manner that respects the rights of all victims of terrorism. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
