The US has officially removed Sudan from its state sponsors of terror list.
President Donald Trump gave Congress the statutory 45-day notice of this move in October as part of a deal that involved Sudan paying $335m (£250m) to US victims of terror attacks.
At the same time Sudan agreed to normalise relations with Israel.
The US put Sudan on the list in 1993 after it was used as a base for al-Qaeda. Its removal should help with vital economic support measures.
