Sudan’s Ambassador to Russia Complains of U.S.
The United States is interested in Sudan’s destabilization to get control over crude oil resources in this region, Sudanese Ambassador to Moscow Shol Deng Alak told reporters today.
Asked about aggravation of energy problem worldwide, the ambassador forecasted that the United States will attempt to find some substitute to the Middle East, some opportunity to set off losses it is suffering as a result of general instability in the Middle East. And Washington is approaching African nations, Sudan in particular, the ambassador pointed out.
As it turned out Shol Deng Alak shares the opinion of Geopolitical Problem Academy Vice President Vladimir Anokhin, who said that “the United States is intentionally shaking a boat in Sudan to grab control over crude oil.” According to Anokhin, Sudan’s resources of crude oil match the resources of Saudi Arabia.
The relations of the United States and Sudan are far from ideal. Washington blames support to global terrorism on Sudan, and those accusations are probably well-justified. In late 1990s, for instance, exactly Sudan gave harbor to Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
