WASHINGTON - A top U.S. State Department official who deals with Sudan said on Tuesday that Washington was considering all options, including possible sanctions, if there was more violence after a deadly assault on protesters in Khartoum early this month.
She said they could include visa sanctions or economic sanctions. “We want to use the right tool and we want to target the right people,” James said. James told the House Foreign Affairs Africa subcommittee that Washington believes the best possible outcome in Sudan is an agreement between the military authorities and the opposition Forces for Freedom and Change, or FFC.
The United States sanctioned Sudan under Bashir over its alleged support for militant groups and the civil war in Darfur.
