U.S. Implications on Normalizing Relations with Sudan

April 19, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Please join The Enough Project in collaboration with the Congressional African Staff Association (CASA) as we discuss what U.S. policy should look like and prioritize in its next phase of engagement with Sudan.

Senior Policy Advisor, Omer Ismail will provide a detailed analysis on why the removal of Sudan from the SST list and a path to full normalization with Sudan would jeopardize core U.S. national interests and cause grave consequences for the people of Sudan who have been subjected to endless persecution and repression by the regime in power.

In October of 2017, the United States government permanently lifted comprehensive sanctions on Sudan citing improvements as part of a 5-track process begun during the Obama administration. This process did not address the core issues of peace and human rights that plague Sudan, including the persecution of religious minorities and rampant corruption. The U.S. is currently discussing taking other steps to move toward normalization with Sudan including the removal of Sudan from the State Sponsors of Terrorism List (SST), which among other elements would allow Sudan to work towards desperately needed debt relief.
