The Sudanese government had cleared him after a number of investigations.

The U.S. put him on the list. (Merely because of the charges...that is the "good" reason.)

Canada doesn't want to go through the process of having him removed.

This is a political issue. It is our responsibility, as he is a Canadian citizen. The problem here is that the Harper government is leaving full responsibility on him, but he is virtually powerless.

He is being abandoned despite otherwise having the means to return home.

Regardless, he should be returned to his nation of citizenship.
