Sudan could be about to end more than 25 years of International Isolation and boost its transition to democracy u. S. President donald trump says hes ready to take it off the list of state sponsors of terrorism thats likely to bring an injection of International Investment and urgently needed debt relief to the morgan reports from the capital. This is one of the events that have kept sudan on a u. S. List of states ponces of terror and kept most Foreign Investors away for more than 25 years. In august 1900 attacks on the u. S. Embassies in kenya and tanzania killed 224 people and injured more than 4000 sudan was accused of providing a base for the bombers then president ahmed bashir had already been accused of offering sanctuary to the likes of al qaida and its leader osama bin laden. But after you have negotiations by the Transitional Government President Donald Trump says hes ready to restore sudans International Status in a tweet he said sudan had agreed to pay 335000000. 00 compensation and once deposited he would remove it from the list. The road ahead of us is long and we have to have a serious plan and work to give the to benefit from the separate units he we promised people and we work to achieve our promise with no agenda except the interest of the nation together we can achieve the impossible being on the list has meant sudan has struggled for investment resulting in a hard currency shortage that led to inflation that 1st throw slowly then steeply the countries pound has lost more than 50 percent of its value against the dollar in just the past 2 months because strapped government is struggling to pay for stuff lies of lead fuel and medicine all items it subsidizes resulting in shortages sudans removal from the u. S. List would allow it to be relieved of its that by the International Monetary fund that will still take months but the country needs help now some analysts say that may mean a move to normalize ties with israel which comes with an economic assistance package could still happen i suspect however that we will see in the coming days or weeks an effort towards normalization on the part of the sudanese because washington at the end of the day needs to get some kind of political way and i think its a sad commentary for washington and for the drug administration. That it isnt a sufficient enough win for them to point to a Success Story in the horn of africa where there wasnt one before this is a region you know beset with political problems and economic problems and for us to be able to point to a Success Story should be a sufficient Foreign Policy when present ministration that it should want to try and trumpet that when. And while President Trumps the Foreign Policy limb so dance Prime Minister up the mantle that the delisting would open path for sudan economic improvement crucial for its transition to democracy people morgan are just there are hot on some and all those a Senior Advisor at the center which tracks money linked to african war criminals he says the deal could be pivotal for hard terms later as the Transitional Government isnt that a lot of political pressure because of the difficulties in the supply of decision according to the population its a reflection of the economic crisis that the government ultimately everything from president bashir is also assumed donor sudans financial an isolation and most measures could be is by sudans being in all to change from the cold and rehabilitate you consider a state it used to be under the human issues between now the a member of the club of the nations says International Financial institutions seek.
