Khaled Meshaal who arrived to Khartoum on Tuesday said the purpose of his visit is to consult with the Sudanese leadership on the political developments regarding the Palestinian issue.

“Your brothers in Palestine, despite the blockade and the closing of border passages … despite the fleets from east and west, despite all of this, we buy arms, we manage to produce arms and we smuggle arms,” he said in a speech to youth conference of the ruling National Congress Party.

Meshaal statements come after an air raid carried in eastern Sdaun last January by Israeli warplanes on a convoy suspected of smuggling weapons to Hamas-held territory in Gaza through Egypt.

The Sudanese army admitted the air strike and said it consulted with the Egyptians and other parties.

After talks with the Sudanese President yesterday, Meshaal said he discussed with Omer Al-Bashir reconciliation efforts sponsored by the Egypt.

He further said Hamas was keen on the success of reconciliation efforts led by Egyptian and Sudan, adding it was the only way to settle difference with the Palestinian authority.

Last August, the President of the Palestinian authority was in Khartoum for talks with President Al-Bashir over ongoing Arab efforts to settle difference with Hamas.

The Palestinian president plans to hold election in January 2010. Hamas said it would not go to legislative and presidential elections before signing a reconciliation deal that ends the current internal rift.

    Those demons of Hamas are part of fanatics that are killing our people in Darfur. So the visit of this evil man to Khartoum indicates that the regime’s supports for terrorist groups will not end unless they are stopped.
