The United States once wanted Sudan to transit to democracy. So in his first term, President Donald Trump helped lift sanctions imposed on Sudan as a state sponsor of democracy. On Monday next week, Trump will return to office to find a Sudan that is nearly collapsing under the burden of war.
He will find that Washington has re-imposed a different kind of sanction to the warlords, who have seen the country go down, under a terrible reign of violence including war crimes and genocide.
