Sudan’s Bashir says Gration positively impacting views within U.S. administration
July 28, 2010 (KHARTOUM) — The U.S. special envoy to Sudan Scott Gration has succeeded in changing the views of senior figures within the administration including president Obama, Sudanese president Omer Hassan Al-Bashir was reportedly quoted as saying.
“The U.S. position is seesawed. Gration is able to see the realities on the ground and started influencing key people within the U.S. administration” Latif quoted the Sudanese president as telling him.
“Even Biden started changing his position and [U.S. president Barack] Obama but the problem of the U.S. administration are lobby groups with interests and we will suffer from this for a long period of time”.
Gration is widely believed to be a proponent of using incentives with Khartoum as opposed to sanctions and pressure, something which drew wide criticism from the U.S. based advocacy groups. His position is in sharp contrast to that of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice.
At a hearing before the U.S. senate last year, the U.S. special envoy called for sanctions to be eased on Sudan and said that there is no justification to keep the country on the list of states that sponsor terrorism.
The remarks attributed to Bashir come as media in Sudan is reporting growing debate within the government in Khartoum to take extreme measures of unspecified nature against U.S. interests.
This new attitude being deliberated was to be in response to calls by the U.S. on Chad to respect its international obligations as it received Bashir on its territory,
Bashir went to Chad last week in defiance of his arrest warrant on his first visit to an international Criminal Court (ICC) member since he was charged by the Hague tribunal.
The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Bashir in 2009 accusing him of war crimes and crimes against humanity during a counter-insurgency campaign in the western Darfur region which borders Chad. This month it added genocide to the charges.
The court said Chad should arrest Bashir, but Chad said after Bashir’s arrival that it had no intention to do that.
This month, Gration had complained that the genocide warrant will complicate his mission in Sudan.

Sudan’s Bashir says Gration positively impacting views within U.S. administration
Dear Gration..it’s just money.A fail of conscious in doing is never been remember in realities when people lunches for their right.being in Sudan does not mean that you want money but to represent U.S administration in Sudan,when i quoted Hillary Clinton statement that, she was disappointed by the U.S administration toward Sudan because the president of United State Barack Obama has been welded to pave his administration toward economic meltdown and health care bill. these things does not co-relate with tourist act around the World, in Sudan people have been dying through out the year but no act has been assure by the U.S Leadership,United Nations European Union and African Union.the bureaucrat act of policies in Sudan has gone to the higher rate which cause alot of tears death in all corridors of the region.
Today,Bashir has been quoted saying that,Gration has went deeply in Sudan role to convince or influence keys official of the government of United State including U.S vice president and President Barack Obama to leave their critical thinking toward Sudan Government and to breach the charges made by the international criminal court [ICC] which is a political deterioration and anachronism of Scott Gration.it is not the United state who will make Laws and breach them,the World will definitely go to a state of diversification not to recognize the role of U.S to any other state.
Gration it’s our time to bury the divisive politics of Racism claim by the Government of Khartoum who recognize people of Sudan in term of colour,but you have to put it in mind that,”A right delayed is A right denied” the north is delaying border demarcation between the North and South depending in 1956.you better watch out Khartoum role Falsification toward the World views. please never kick a dying horse otherwise you will be judge of shyness toward the community of this Nation,be specific in being in Sudan to tell truth.the charge of genocide which was added to Bashir will not make you coward in your work but you encourage and extravagant yourself in your task,don’t hesitate.
THE TRUE CITIZEN.
