Nagy: Rremoving Sudan from a list of state sponsors of terrorism is a process The US sees Sudan as a partner, he said WASHINGTON: The United States no longer has an adversarial relationship with the Sudanese government and sees it as a partner, but removing it from a list of state sponsors of terrorism is a process, Tibor Nagy, assistant secretary for African affairs at the State Department said on Friday. "It"s not an event, it"s not flipping a light switch. It"s a process and we are heavily, continuously engaged with our Sudanese interlocutors on how we can go about doing that," he told reporters in a briefing. "It will happen when it happens, as quickly as possible," he added.
