US-Zionists conspiring to disintegrate Sudan: Envoy

Tehran, Dec 29, IRNA -- Sudanese Ambassador to Tehran Sulayman Abdut-Tawwab Az-Zain said on Tuesday that the US and Zionists are conspiring to disintegrate Sudan.

The Sudanese ambassador revealed the conspiracy in a meeting with editors of the Islamic Republic News Agency.

He said that the West is seeking to disintegrate Sudan as a prelude to implement the strategy to damage territorial integrity of the other Arab and Islamic states worldwide.

The Zionists along with some western states and the US in particular are determined to set up permanent base for themselves in South of Sudan, he underlined.

The ambassador said that the Zionists are endeavoring to find access to the Nile to exert pressures on Egypt.

He said that disintegration of Sudan will provide the US with suitable opportunity, calling on the Arab League and the Organization of the Islamic Conference to render political, military and economic support to the Khartoum government.

Meanwhile, Abdut-Tawwab Az-Zain said on Tuesday that the Sudanese government and nation believe that the Islamic Revolution gave hope to all Muslims and all can witness return of Islam to the global scene.

In a meeting with IRNA Chief Ali Akbar Javanfekr, the Sudanese ambassador said that the Islamic Revolution belongs to all Muslims worldwide.

The ambassador said that the current relations between Iran and Sudan should be regarded as an exemplary model as both sides have common enemies.

Javanfekr said for his part that the enemies seek to sow discord among world Muslims aiming to undermine their morale in resistance to the bullying powers, but to no avail.

The Islamic Republic of Iran with reliance upon its courageous nation strongly thwarted all international pressures, Javanfekr said./end
