US President's decision to lift restrictions on Sudan, timeline and implications – The Face of Truth – ✍️ Ibrahim Shaqlawi
Successive U.S. administrations have imposed a series of economic sanctions against Sudan on the White House, issued either through executive orders from the president or legislation from the U.S. Congress, and aimed at putting pressure on Sudan, accused of sponsoring so- saying terrorism. during the years of the Salvation regime since 1988 AD. These sanctions also remained significant during the thirty-year period of President Omar Al-Bashir's rule, the sanctions were aimed at limiting the influence of Al-Bashir's regime and besieging it. , during this period when the ruling system began to emerge with an independent character from the colonial international system which continued to exercise its hegemony over the people and worked to confiscate their sovereign decision and eliminate all… Attempts at national liberation. , the United States imposed sanctions on Sudan to limit its regional influence, which began to take shape quickly, reinforced by a number of political regimes in its environment that continued to be hostile to the United States of America by rejecting hegemony and arrogance, like the Iranian and Syrian regimes. In 1997, sanctions were escalated to a trade embargo and government asset freeze due to what the United States of America said were human rights violations and fears of terrorism. in 2006 due to what he said was support for violence in Darfur, after relying on reports prepared by Sudanese activists and politicians opposed to the government during that period. These sanctions had a profound impact on the Sudanese people and the economy, and Sudan still does. suffer from these effects, despite Sudan's attempts to overcome them by resorting to other countries such as China to help it carry out a number of economic projects which have greatly contributed to sparing Sudan the negative effects of these decisions, as they have entered into massive investments with Sudan in the field of energy, oil and infrastructure, in addition to agricultural projects and defense industries. In general, from 2015 to 2017, there were agreements on what the United States of America called cooperation in the fight against terrorism and on Sudan's progress in the human field. human rights file, as published by the American president (Barack Obama). An executive order was issued to ease economic and trade sanctions imposed on Sudan, allowing U.S. companies to export personal communications devices in addition to software that allows Sudanese people to connect to the Internet and social media. These sanctions remained the carrot and stick in Sudanese-American relations, and the revolutionary government led by Abdullah Hamdok failed, despite Bashir's regime change, to develop its positions with the United States. the enthusiasm he showed in paying an amount of 750 million in compensation to the families of the victims of the American battleship operation, despite the fact that the court had previously acquitted Sudan of these accusations without having any benefit in the lifting of sanctions, September 30. After 2024 A.D. In a timely move that observers saw as a transition to the aftermath of the war, US Presidential Resolution No. (7017) was announced, according to which the Sudan was exempt from sanctions imposed in accordance with the United States. Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, to allow continued assistance under the provisions of the U.S. Human Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000. Development and Global Health Programs, as the ruling allows the Sudan to obtain American development assistance and benefit from global health programs. The decision also allows Sudan to benefit from banking, trade and financial transactions, technical assistance and exchanges in the field of scientific research and educational opportunities. The Sudanese government welcomed the decision through its Foreign Minister, Hussein Awad, as I said. represents significant progress in relations between the two countries and will contribute to reconstruction efforts, in particular to the rehabilitation of the health sector. Looking at the timing of the decision and its implications, one can see that the United States of America, with this step, seeks to realize interests that directly concern it by allowing American companies to enter Sudan after the war to contribute to the reconstruction, and America therefore wishes to have a clear role and a direct interest in benefiting from Sudan's resources by opening the route that will allow it to benefit from Sudan's resources. made by this decision to be able to deal directly with the Sudanese government promoting common interests, because the presence of these procedures represented an obstacle to the entry of the United States of America into the Sudanese market. , the decision eliminates the last existing obstacles linked to commercial and financial aid. This is why observers, led by Dr. Mujahid Ibrahim, a professor of political science at American universities specializing in international relations, considered it an economic decision par excellence. Sudan's interest if it wants to deal with America on an open trade balance. This is what makes US interests greater in Sudan because of their desire to cut off other countries like China and Russia. The decision also has an important aspect. is linked to the Financial Transparency Act and the budget of the United States of America approved until 2025 AD.) Therefore, the face of truth remains: it is important that Sudan benefits from this decision at this time. important moment. it is about to rebuild what was destroyed by the war and reform its economy to enable it to recover, Sudan must therefore use this decision in a new transition by benefiting from the HIPEC agreement to cancel its debts. international financial organizations to consider economic partnerships that will allow it to obtain funds to help it rebuild. The Ministry of Finance and the entire economic staff of the country must also quickly prepare a vision on how to benefit from this decision by sending a delegation from the country. The United States of America will present Sudan's economic vision in the next stage, which is based on the exchange of interests and respect for national sovereignty. Sudan's possibilities of joining any economic grouping such as BRICS if it decides to do so also remain great.
May you always be well.
