Sudan and the US State Sponsors of Terrorism List

Foreign Policy posted on 9 December 2019 a commentary titled “Sudan’s New Government Can’t Succeed If It Remains on the U.S. Blacklist” by Hala al-Karib, Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa, and El Sadig Hassan, Darfur Bar Association.

The transition to a democratic government in Sudan will be difficult enough as it is and much more difficult if it remains on the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism. The authors argue that the U.S. designation puts an unjust economic and political burden on a government that is working to give democracy a chance.
