Sudan and US Sanctions

World Politics Review posted on 26 November 2018 a commentary titled "Is the Trump Administration Offering to End Sudan's Isolation for the Wrong Reasons?" by Richard Downie, Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Sudan has been on the US state sponsors of terrorism list since 1993. Discussions are taking place between Sudan and the US to remove Khartoum from this list, which both sides agree has not been justified for a number of years. The problem is that Washington has other concerns about Sudan dealing primarily with human rights that it is trying to improve before it removes Sudan from the state sponsors of terrorism list.
