Sudan is the country where the Muslims of the Middle East held their conference in their capital, Kartoum, called the Kartoum Conference. There they had decided on the 3 NOs to peace of any sort. "The Arab presence is estimated at 70% of the population. Others include North Sudan Nubians, Zurga (South and West Sudan), and Copts."Copts are also the largest Christian denomination in Sudan and Libya.
Trump said Sudan had demonstrated a commitment to battling terrorism. “This is one of the great days in the history of Sudan,” Trump said, adding that Israel and Sudan have been in a state of war for decades.
At its core, it looks like the deal is really a trade where the US gives Sudan financial help in exchange for recognizing Israel.
Update: 2/5/2021-In another show of support for the normalization deal between Israel and Sudan, a Sudanese politician boasts about the countries’ shared interests.
Sudanese economist and politician Mubarak Al-Fadil Al-Mahdi, chairman of the country’s Umma Party, said he believes that Israel is now a friend of the Arab world and that they share the same interests, specifically when it comes to the Iranian threat.
Al-Mahdi noted that Iran has infiltrated Arab countries like Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq with its proxies, thus endangering the region.
Times are definitely changing!
