US Open To Removing Sudan from State Sponsors of Terrorism List

The New York Times published on 16 November 2017 an article titled "U.S. Is Open to Removing Sudan From Terrorism List, Diplomat Says" by Jina Moore.

Deputy Secretary of State John J. Sullivan recently visited Khartoum. One of the most senior U.S. officials to visit Sudan in the past decade, he said the United States would consider removing Sudan from its list of state sponsors of terrorism if Sudan continued to make progress on counterterrorism cooperation, human rights and other key issues. While this is a big "if," it clearly signals Washington's willingness to move in this direction.
