"The Eritrean regime has offered the Massawa harbour to be a military base for American troops," Ismail was quoted by local newspapers as saying, adding that he was quoting reliable sources, including Western ones. He said, however, that the US administration had denied taking a decision on accepting the Eritrean offer. Ismail said his government is not as much concerned with that issue as it is with what he regarded as Eritrea's hostile attitude against its neighbours. "Our concern is that Eritrea should stop its aggression against the neighbouring countries," said Ismail. The Sudanese official demanded that Eritrea refrain from interfering in Sudanese affairs, including the peace process. "This regime cannot bring peace to Sudan, as a person cannot offer what he does not possess ... it cannot achieve peace even inside Eritrea." Eritrea is a member of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, which is sponsoring peace negotiations between Khartoum and the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Army. "It is the Eritrean people who are responsible for the behaviour of the regime in Eritrea," said Ismail. Sudan "looks forward to a change in the policy of the Eritrean regime, not the regime itself as this is the responsibility of the Eritrean people," Ismail said.
