The United States and Sudan: Recommendations for Re-Engagement

Abstract

The Republic of Sudan, heretofore largely neglected by American policy makers, is undergoing important changes which promise to transform it into a major player in northeast Africa. These changes hold important regional implications for American interests throughout north, east and sub-Saharan Africa. As a result, the Department of State, Central Command and the Agency for International Development must prepare for a broad program of engagement with Africa's largest country. This paper provides background on Sudan, an analysis of U.S. national interests in the region and the strategic considerations at play, as well as a review of the history of U.S.- Sudanese relations. In conclusion, this paper provides operational-level recommendations for the three primary USG actors in Sudan: the Department of State, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and Central Command.
