actor1: Government of Sudan (2019-)
actor2: Government of the United States (2017-2021)
location: Khartoum
notes: Agreement: On 14 December 2020, and following a lengthy process of negotiations, the US government has removed Sudan from its list of State Sponsors of Terrorism (SST). The removal of the SST designation completes the normalization of relations with the US, and has required Sudan to pay $335 million in compensation claims (likely paid by another country or countries, given Sudan's economic situation). The IMF has indicated that debt relief and restructuring will commence, though only once Sudan clears its arrears with various international financial institutions (which will likely be paid for by the US). Normalization of relations with Israel has also been a precondition of the deal.
