Ex-Sudan president calls for boycott of US

There are only two ways through which the US will be forced to retract its decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, former Sudanese president, Abdel Rahman Swar Al-Dahab, said yesterday.

Speaking to Quds Press, Al-Dahab said: “The first is to have a greater power to force it to change its decision”, while the second it to start an economic boycott.

“Through economic boycott and denying US citizens entry to Arab and Muslim countries, Arabs and Muslims can influence the United States,” Al-Dahab said.

“I hope that the popular demonstrations in Arab and Muslim countries will not stop until they turn into official political positions,” he added.
