Sudan has no right to block the nomination of the American envoys because that is domestic affair, but it has the right to enquire about the significance of the coming and outgoing envoys.
According to international laws, envoys are named to resolve urgent issues and not complicate the situations, but the US envoys have never settled crucial issues between Washington and Khartoum or core issues between Sudan and South Sudan.
For instance, the term of the U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan Andrew S. Natsios was full of problems and complications. The envoy has clearly tried to spark a new war between two Sudans and urged his country to provide Juba with arms to achieve victory over Khartoum. His calls have exposed his dishonest wills.
Unlike Natsios, Ambassador Scott Gartion has urged US administration to drop the economic sanctions. Mr Gration, a retired army general, said that maintaining the designation for Sudan would be a "political decision" that was "backed by no evidence" and was hindering U.S. development goals.
He told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that sanctions linked to the designation had held up the delivery of basic supplies essential to providing humanitarian assistance and developing infrastructure.
He admitted said that Khartoum was cooperating in the global fight against terror and that what has happened in Darfur was no longer genocide.
Regarding the new envoy, Donald E Booth, the Sudanese Foreign Ministers said Sudan places less emphasis on the US envoys unless he embarks on bettering the Sudanese-US relations. Since the nomination of the first envoy, the Sudanese-US relations have seen no improvement or change.
The new US envoy should come only with a clear road map to resolve the issues between the two countries (Sudan and US), said the Sudanese foreign minister, Ali Karti .
âIf the new US envoy has a clear roadmap for relations between Khartoum and Washington, including helping to resolve the remaining files, we welcome this role, but if he goes to other issues we will certainly move away from himâ, he said.
Although Sudan helped facilitate South Sudanâs referendum and formally recognized its results and exerted great efforts to normalize ties with Washington, US hasnât fulfilled its promise to lift or the ease the economic sanctions.
The Sudanese government is in need to revise its policies with US envoys. The experiment has inflicted harm to Sudan, so it time for the Sudanese government to reconsider its views towards the successive envoys who failed to carry out their mission except for Scott Gration who was fair with Sudan during his tenure.
