AFP. 9 January 2002. US-led "anti-terror war" should not be taken to east Africa, Sudan urges. The US-led "war on terrorism" should not be taken to east Africa and the world community must instead work together to fight the scourge of terrorism, a senior Sudanese official said here. Sudanese Vice President Ali Osman Taha said Tuesday amid preparations for a summit here of seven east African nations members of IGAD the US-led "war on terrorism," currently waged in Afghanistan, should not be used as a pretext to harm the security and sovereignty of IGAD member states Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Uganda, and Djibouti. Somalia and Sudan have both been accused by the United States of hosting or supporting terrorist groups, but both countries have been at pains to distance themselves from such organizations. "We reject any attempt to use the present circumstances to violate the security and sovereignty of the member states," Taha said ahead of the summit on Thursday and Friday. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
