Dear Supporter,

The Sentry and Enough Project released a statement calling on the United States to accelerate the ongoing process to remove Sudan from the State Sponsors of Terrorism List and advocating for the use of network sanctions on spoilers undermining peace in the country. This position is based on specific actions taken by the transitional government in Sudan to protect basic human rights, fight corruption, and curb the influence and activities of radical groups that are ideologically aligned with international terrorist organizations.

“Accelerating the process for delisting Sudan from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list is not a panacea, but it will help unlock essential financial support and bolster Sudan’s economic prospects… The United States must implement a policy that is nimble and targeted enough to address those seeking to undermine meaningful reforms and engage in violent activity but that also moves away from policies like the SST designation that are too blunt and can act as an impediment to political and economic progress.”

Sincerely,

John Prendergast
Co-Founder of The Sentry and the Enough Project
