Foreign Policy posted on 7 January 2022 a commentary titled "Why Won't Biden Support Sudan's Democracy Movement" by Cameron Hudson and Kholood Khair.
The authors argue that Sudan did not get much attention at President Biden's democracy summit last month and the administration heaps praise on Sudan's military leaders. It refers to Washington's "tacit support" of Sudan's generals and believes the administration has farmed out its Sudan policy to the UAE and Saudi Arabia, who tend to support the military.
Comment: While I agree with the authors that the democracy movement in Sudan deserves strong U.S. support, my read of Biden administration policy is different. The United States has withheld significant assistance from Sudan and recent public U.S. statements have been pro-democracy movement and critical of the military. I just don't see the "tacit support" of the generals.
