#3 dominickq2021 on 29 Sep 20The U.S. is attempting to get Sudan to normalize relations with Israel as a part of a larger push in the Arab world. The U.S. is offering major financial benefits to entice Sudan to do so. Sudan's crippled economy makes the offer much harder to turn down, posing the question of whether a resolution will be based on a legitimate desire to improve relations, or simply the desperation of the Sudanese government.

Seems pretty strategic. And expensive! Thanks, Dominick! -
#5 stephens2021 on 19 Oct 20Today on Twitter, Donald Trump announced that Sudan agreed to pay $335 million to compensate victims of terrorist attacks. He also said he will remove Sudan from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list, which will allow the US to assist Sudan in its economic crisis through humanitarian aid and financial assistance. I am interested to see how Sudanese citizens will respond to this because it seems like Trump forced Sudan's hand to normalize relations with Israel. -
