Al-Junaynah, July 18 (Darfur24)
The United States said a new package of sanctions against Sudan will take effect on July 20 after determining that the Sudanese government failed to meet the requirements of the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act within the required timeframe.
The sanctions include U.S. opposition to loans, financial assistance, and technical support for Sudan through international financial institutions, except for humanitarian aid.
The measures also ban the export of most U.S. goods and technologies to Sudan, while imposing tighter controls on exports that could have sensitive or military applications.
Additionally, Washington will suspend permits that allow Sudanese state-owned airlines to operate flights to and from the United States.
The sanctions are part of measures announced by the United States in response to allegations that Sudan used chemical weapons.
