SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Bloomberg –To Build a New Sudan, Take It Off the US Terror List

18/9/19: Bloomberg –To Build a New Sudan, Take It Off the US Terror List, by Bobby Ghosh

 In calls for the US President Donald Trump administration to take Sudan off the US State Department’s list of nations that sponsor terrorism, Bloomberg columnist Bobby Ghosh argues that the US should threaten Sudan’s military with sanctions if it stifles Sudan’s democratic transition, thereby sending a clear signal to donors and investors that it is safe to back the democratic government.

 Ghosh warns the US to be mindful of previous mistakes in de-listing Cuba and North Korea, where reform promises were not honoured, and the lifting of sanctions from Myanmar, where the military retained power and launched a campaign of terror against the Rohingya community.
