Washington, D.C. - House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-CA) issued the following statement on the Obama administration’s move to lift Sudan trade sanctions.
“For months, the Obama administration has attempted a last-ditch effort to reengage with Sudan. While counterterrorism cooperation has increased, the government still abuses the fundamental human rights of the Sudanese people. Much more progress - particularly on the humanitarian front - will need to take place before we can be satisfied. I urge the new administration to look at Sudan with fresh eyes.".
