Sudan: We are not paying, yet, for bombings

Sudan’s decision on compensating victims of 1998 US embassy bombings in Kenya and Dar es Salaam will only be made after another court ruling.

Sudanese Ministry of Justice said the ruling by the US Supreme Court on Monday did not confirm demand for more compensation to the plaintiffs under state law.

The Ministry of Justice said in a statement that the ruling is a reinstatement of a lower court decision that had “refrained from commenting on the validity of imposing punitive compensation under state law on the government of Sudan.”

Khartoum has argued that the size of the various compensation figures awarded by the court to plaintiffs under state law represents the largest portion of the total compensation amount that the court ruled in similar cases.

Eight judges voted unanimously to overturn a lower court decision of 2017 that pardoned Sudan of disciplinary damages set, unlike about $ 6 billion in other compensation.
