Mar 3, 2006 (KHARTOUM) — According to Alwan daily newspaper, the State Department recalled the US chargé d’affairs Cameron Hume, after being accused of insulting the Prophet last week in Khartoum.
On 1 March, Alwan reported that Hume had said to a Sudanese businessman in a reception at the US Embassy in Khartoum “go and tell this to your government and your prophet”.
But the chargé d’affairs denied the accusation when he was summoned by the Foreign Ministry to inquire about what had been attributed to him.
Members of the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) in Khartoum yesterday gathered in the Headquarters of the party protesting against Cameron’s statement.
The crowd expressed their anger and called for the immediate expulsion of the US diplomate and the closure of his embassy.
Alwan newspaper expects that Hume’s issue will be discussed and commented during the Friday sermons today.
