Fourteen years after the United States accused the Sudanese government of genocide in Darfur, the Trump administration is entering a new chapter of engagement with Khartoum and offering the possibility of removing the African nation from the state sponsor of terror list.

The State Department agreed to a second phase of rapprochement with Sudan Nov. 6, laying out six priorities that if filled by Khartoum would remove one of the last remaining barriers between two nations that have been at odds for nearly three decades.

The terrorism designation was first placed on Sudan by the Clinton administration in 1993.

While no specific timeline was placed for the removal of the terrorism designation, a State Department official told reporters that a decision would be made sometime between six months and four years.

For the Sudanese government, the designation would signify a normalization of relations with the West after decades of being an outcast.

If the terrorism designation is dropped, Sudan will ask for financial support from the International Monetary Fund and look for foreign direct investment, Foreign Minister Al-Dirdiri Mohamed Ahmed told reporters. The terrorism designation is a “stigma” for Sudan, Ahmed said, arguing that the U.S. unfairly placed the label on his country.

Under the second round of normalization the U.S. said that it would drop the terrorism designation if Sudan ceased internal hostilities, expanded humanitarian access, improved human rights, addressed terrorism related claims, expanded counter terrorism cooperation and worked to curtail North Korean activity.

In particular, White House officials under the Trump administration have been eager to expand relations with the Sudanese government in order to work on counter-terrorism issues, U.S. officials have told the Military Times. The officials said that most of the American counter-terrorism and special-forces operations are aimed at countering the Islamic State and monitoring events in Libya.
