US to Allow Some Defense Exports to Southern Sudan
July 2008
The United States Government has decided to take another small step to aid the peoples of Southern Sudan by agreeing to approve certain exports of defense articles to Southern Sudan to support the peace arrangement between Southern Sudan and the murderous Government of Sudan which, along with its Janjaweed henchmen, is known to support or be involved in the murdering and burning of babies, women and children as part of its genocide against certain groups in Sudan.
The Department of State alongside with Foreign Operations has authorized the US to provide non-lethal defense services to the Government of Southern Sudan. This will include military assistance, military education and training, and defense services controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. It has been determined by State that this is in the best interest of the United States and Southern Sudan and that the assistance may be provided pursuant to section 666(e) of the ITAR.
