UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Sudan's U.N. ambassador accused President Bush on Thursday of imposing new sanctions against his country for domestic political reasons and said Americans should feel "ashamed" because Sudan is making progress on ending the bloodshed in Darfur.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Ambassador Abdalmahmood Abdalhaleem Mohamad said U.S. sanctions "will cripple the humanitarian situation in Darfur" and elsewhere in the country, because they target railways, airplanes and other transportation links.
But he noted that when the U.S. first imposed sanctions against Sudan nearly 10 years ago, the government achieved "miracles" and "emerged as an oil-exporting country."
