Khalid Again

Khalid Mubarak is complaining about US sanctions. Perhaps he has a point. However awful the government of Sudan is, there should be some reward for their having allowed the South to secede. If not what hope is there persuading to behave better in future:

Unfair US Sanctions Renewed
Date: 09/11/2013
In the ancient Oriental tale, the lamb, drinking at the foot of the hill from a spring was shouted at by a lion which was at the top: You are muddying the water for me.   How dare you! The lamb replied: How could I?  The spring water runs downwards from your position.  A fox listening whispered: He is looking for a pretext. Run for your life.
What should the Sudan do in the face of the extension of illogical unfair US sanctions declared on 30 October 13 in a message to Congress by President Obama?  In it there is the hyperbolic statement that: Sudan’s policies “are hostile to US interests and continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States”. Unusual and extraordinary threat? Disingenuous is an understatement in describing this allegation.
