US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has arrived in Sudan on a flight from Israel on the first visit of such a high-ranking US official for 15 years.
He is the first top US official to visit the country since last year’s ouster of its longtime leader Omar al-Bashir.
Sudan wants to be removed from the US list of state sponsors of terror, while Mr Pompeo is promoting closer ties between Israel and Arab countries.
Relations between the US and Sudan have eased since last year’s overthrow of President Omar al-Bashir.
