أكد "سليمان عبدالتواب" السفير السوداني لدى "طهران" في تصريحاته لشبكة "برس تي في" - أن "الولايات المتحدة" و"إسرائيل" لعبتا دورًا كبيرًا في زرع بذور الشقاق وإذكاء الحرب الأهلية وعدم الاستقرار في الجنوب السوداني, مشيرًا إلى أن المخابرات الإسرائيلية - الموساد - أسهمت في تأجيج الصراع.

وقد أشار أيضًا في تصريحاته إلى أن مسؤولين كبار بالموساد قاموا بتحديد 7 دول تشكل تهديدًا حقيقيًا لـ"إسرائيل" من بينها "السودان", مؤكدًا أن "إسرائيل" ترى "السودان" - التي تأتي في المرتبة الثانية بعد "الصين" في معدل النمو الاقتصادي – تشكل تهديدًا لكونها دولة إسلامية, وأنها تلعب دورًا كبيرة في ربط المسلمين العرب والأفارقة.

وهو ما دفع لفرض عقوبات عليها رغبةً من "الولايات المتحدة" و"إسرائيل" في إحكام السيطرة على حكومتها.

US, Israel behind Sudan conflicts'

The Sudanese ambassador to Tehran says the US and Israel play a key role in sowing seeds of discord and fueling the country's civil war and the unrest in its south.

“The Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, is likely to be escalating the conflict,” Suleiman Abdel Towab told Press TV on Sunday.

He also said a senior Mossad official has, in a report, singled out seven countries as “real threats” to Israel, among them are Iran and Sudan.

The envoy added Israel sees his country as a threat as Sudan is an Islamic state and very popular in Africa.

“Sudan is like a bridge between Africans, Arabs and Muslims, So Israel and the US seek to control the Sudanese government and impose sanctions on it,” he said.

Towab underscored Sudan has shown it enjoys good potential for development and progress, managing to make great strides in times of sanctions and economic hardships.

“Sudan is the second biggest country after China in terms of economic growth,” the Sudanese ambassador said.

He added that Sudan has been sanctioned due to its important geographical situation and the key role it plays in Africa and the whole world.

Sudan, Africa's largest country, is scheduled to stage two referendums on January 9 -- one on the independence of South Sudan and the other on whether the contested oil-rich Abyei region should link up with the North or South in case of the country's disintegration.

The country was plagued by a civil war for 16 years before a truce between the government forces and the rebels in the south in 2005.
