#SmartSudan Policy

The United States is in need of a Sudan policy that effectively supports the people of Sudan in their efforts to establish a viable state that is no longer a breeding ground for terrorism and is no longer plagued by genocide, mass atrocities, forced displacement, human rights abuses, and gross mismanagement of the country and its resources.

Rather than taking a new comprehensive approach to Sudan, the U.S. is sidetracked by Obama’s decision to lift sanctions, a decision that is benefiting the Sudanese regime by allowing it to continue to support terrorism and the destruction and marginalization of the Sudanese people while removing the primary source of leverage to achieve national and international peace and security.

In response, Sudanese and others are dedicating the month of June 2017 to advise the U.S. Administration on smart Sudan policy.

ACTION: We are asking you to tweet every day for the month of June, sending a loud and clear message to U.S. officials that we need a #SmartSudan policy.
