Denmark–Sudan relations refers to the current and historical relations between Denmark and Sudan. Denmark is represented in Sudan, through its embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.[1] Sudan is represented in Denmark, through its embassy in Oslo, Norway.[2]

Current relations

[edit]

Danish-Sudanese relations are severed. In February 2008, the Sudanese government boycotted Danish goods after the controversial Muhammad cartoons have been reprinted by a series of newspapers in Denmark and other European countries.[3] Omar al-Bashir stated that "No Danes shall ever again be able to set foot in Sudan." Following this incident, Denmark severed relations with Sudan. Due to the tensions, the two countries have closed their embassies.[4] Sudan also introduced travel restrictions against Danish citizens.[5]

History

[edit]

In the 1960s, Denmark offered aid to rural development in Sudan.[6]

On 4 August 1969, a Danish Sterling Airways flight were seized by the Sudanese authorities, because it was going to Tel Aviv, a "violation of the arab world's anti-israeli boycott." The next day, the Sudanese government agreed to release the passengers.[7][8]

In the 1970s, Denmark and Sudan signed many agreements, as they desired to strengthen the economic relations between the two countries. As part of the agreements, Denmark lent 15 million DKK to Sudan in 1971,[9] 25 million DKK in 1974,[10] and 40 million DKK in 1978.[11] From 2004 to 2009, Denmark gave 500 million DKK as aid to Sudan.[12]

Denmark sent humanitarian aid to Darfur, during the War in Darfur,[13] and sent 40 - 45 soldiers to Darfur as peacekeepers.[14] During the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference, when Amnesty International learned that Denmark had invited the Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, they wanted the Danish Government to arrest him.[15] In December 2011, Denmark contributed 40 million DKK to Sudan.[16]

Agreements

[edit]

In May 1959, Denmark and Sudan signed an air service agreement.[17] In 1976, an economic, industrial, scientific and technical agreement were signed between Denmark and Sudan.[18] On 31 July 1983, Denmark and Sudan signed the Agreement on cooperation regarding personnel and training assistance. An agreement that would strengthen their cooperation.[19] On 28 August 1992, both countries signed a financing implementation of a consolidation phase for rehabilitation of water yards in Sudan agreement.[20]
