A protest movement that led to the dismissal by Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir's army in April after 20 years in power was triggered by the tripling of the price of bread in the midst of an economic crisis. An agreement was then found for a transition to a civil power.
The Saudi kingdom, an ally of the United States, "is working on Sudan's withdrawal from the US list" of "states supporting terrorism," the Saudi Foreign Ministry said in a statement posted on Twitter.
Without giving further details, he added that he also worked on "the establishment of ambitious investment projects".
King Salman of Saudi Arabia met on Sunday with Abdallah Hamdok and Abdel Fattah al-Burhane, the head of the Sovereign Council, charged in August with leading a three-year transition after an agreement between the army and the leaders of the protest.
Sudan is participating in the military coalition commanded by Saudi Arabia, which intervened in the Yemeni conflict in 2015 to help power against the rebels.
After the fall of Omar al-Bashir, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have pledged to inject $ 500 million into the Central Bank of Sudan and send $ 2.5 billion in aid to provide food, medicines and petroleum products to the Sudanese, without specifying whether this was done in the form of donation or loan.
