Sudan denies visa for US officials

Sudan has denied United States officials visa in a tit for tat move against Washington because it had previously refused to grant an entry visa to senior Sudanese officials to participate in international meetings, (Sudan Tribune) reported. 
Sudan State Minister at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ambassador Kamal Ismail told reporters on Sunday that Khartoum's embassy in Washington received visa applications from US officials and decided to implement reciprocal measures. 
However, the minister did not disclose the names of the US official whose visa requests were denied or their reasons to visit Sudan. 
Last Tuesday, Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the acting charge d'affaires at the US Embassy in Khartoum Benjamin Moeling. 
The Deputy Under-secretary of Foreign Ministry Sirraj Eddin Hamid conveyed Sudan's protests against delay and denial of visa to enter the United States to Sudanese officials attend United Nations, World Bank and other international forums meetings.
