SUDAN NEWS ALERT: AFP - US removes Sudan from religious freedom blacklist

20/12/2019: AFP - US removes Sudan from religious freedom blacklist

AFP reports that the US lifted “fast-changing” Sudan from a blacklist for religious freedom violations.

Sudan was the only nation removed from the US State Department's annual list of "countries of particular concern," which are subject to sanctions if they do not better protect religious liberty.

Nonetheless, Sudan remains on the US watch-list of countries that violate religious liberties, and it must improve its record to avoid re-designation.
