Washington Sorting Out Changing Politics in Horn of Africa

 Washington-based Al-Monitor published on 1 April 2021 an article titled "Sudan Takes Center Stage in US Regional Strategy." 

The article surveys the fast changing political landscape in northeast Africa and its impact on US foreign policy as tension mounts over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam in Ethiopia and the ongoing conflict in Tigray Region.  Sudan appears to be a beneficiary of improving relations with the United States.  

US To Appoint Senior Sudan Advisor

Foreign Policy posted on 10 June 2019 an article titled "Accused of Inaction, Trump Team Set to Appoint Sudan Advisor" by Robbie Gramer and Justin Lynch.

In response to criticism that the United States is not sufficiently engaged in trying to resolve the crisis in Sudan, the Trump Administration reportedly will name former ambassador Donald Booth as senior advisor on Sudan to the Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs.
