In a bustling market in central Khartoum, Sudanese applauded the US decision announced earlier Monday to welcome their country back into the international fold, voicing optimism for their future after decades of isolation.
"It means a lot of hope," said medical student Suha Anas, a 21-year-old woman in a black abaya gown, as she munched on a traditional Sudanese sweet.
The US removal of Sudan from its state sponsors of terrorism blacklist, she said, will impact people's lives in multiple ways, including the world's perception of her fellow citizens.
