November 25, 2015 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese government has denounced the terrorist blast on Tuesday 24 November evening which targeted a bus carrying members of Tunisia’s presidential guard.

The extremist group, Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement released Wednesday but the Tunisian government didn’t comment on the statement.

Sudan’s foreign ministry said in a statement Wednesday that “Sudan condemns in the strongest terms the terrorist blast that targeted a bus carrying Tunisian presidential guards”, describing it as “contrary to all divine laws, human values and international norms and laws”.

It expressed solidarity with the Tunisian government in all measures it takes to preserve its security and stability against all terrorist actions.

The statement called for concerted regional and international efforts to fight against all forms of terrorism, expressing sincere condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims who lost their lives in this tragic incident.

Tunisia has seen a surge in terrorist attacks that has raised fears for the future of this North African nation of 11 million people.
