The United States and Sudan

The Heritage Foundation published on 17 October 2019 a report titled "The U.S. Must Help to Consolidate Civilian Government in Sudan Against Entrenched Security Hardliners" by Joshua Meservey.

The author argues that the United States has an opportunity to encourage the consolidation of a friendly, non-Islamist civilian government in Sudan. U.S. strategy should focus on empowering the civilian elements of the government with diplomatic support and technical assistance, and helping them erode the hardliners' power, but subtly enough to avoid a bloody backlash.
