The new Sudanese Government, in its first foreign policy act, has recognized East Germany because of that Government’s opposition to Israel, it was reported here. Sudan broke relations with West Germany four years ago when it recognized Israel.
Speaking at a news conference in Khartoum, Premier Abubakr Awadallah, who seized control of the Government in a coup Sunday, said that Israel must withdraw from all occupied territory, including East Jerusalem, and must recognize the right of all refugees to return to Palestine. Mr. Awadallah said that in order to avoid entanglements with “reactionary” capitalist governments, his Government would enlarge its economic relations with Arab and Socialist states. He said his country would continue to promote the Palestinian Arab campaign against Israel.
