USNS Carson City arrived at Port Sudan harbour on the Red Sea on Wednesday “to enhance maritime security in the region” in a new indication of a post-embargo thaw in Sudan-US relations this year.
In a statement via social media on Wednesday, the US Embassy in Khartoum stated that the arrival of the US naval ship to Sudan is the first in decades, indicating that the ship’s arrival refers to the US Armed Forces readiness to enhance the renewed partnership with the Sudanese Armed Forces.
