The Center for Strategic and International Studies published on 11 July 2024 a commentary titled "Washington Is Becoming Irrelevant in Sudan. A Sanctions Strategy Could Change That" by Cameron Hudson.
It is clear that limited US sanctions aimed at ending the conflict in Sudan have had no effect. The author proposes more strategic US sanctions might work.
Comment: It is difficult to envisage what sanctions the US could employ in the current situation in Sudan that would cause the two protagonists to end the fighting. Personal sanctions on Sudan Armed Forces leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and Rapid Support Forces leader, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, while perhaps a good idea, would not likely have any impact on their future actions. The situation today in Sudan is not comparable to the one that existed in the earlier Darfur genocide era. Remaining US sanction options, in isolation, just do not offer much leverage.
