Sudan bans imports of Danish goods
Updated on 26 February 2008
Sudan has banned imports of Danish goods in retaliation for the reprinting of a cartoon that satirised Islam's Prophet Muhammad, the state-run news agency said.
The move came as the country was braced for a large anti-Danish protest in the capital Khartoum on Wednesday that appeared to have tacit government approval.
Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir announced earlier this week a plan to ban Danish imports, snub the country's officials and expel its organisations in response to the cartoon reprinted this month by 17 Danish newspapers showing Prophet Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban.
