Although US is a partner in all the peace deals in Sudan and one of the main aid stakeholders in the country, its relationship with Khartoum has been on and off.

Washington is the main member of the sponsors of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement between Sudan and South Sudan, signed in 2005, that led to the split of South Sudan in 2011.
However, U.S. President Barack Obama sent last week a a notice to the U. S. Congress, in which he decided to extend the economic sanctions on Sudan since 1997.

US doesn't care about its relations with Sudan and the consequences to surface from the annual renewal of the economic sanctions .

Sudan has been cooperating closely with US in the fight against the hotbeds of terror anywhere. Although Washington knows this fact and knows that Sudan is an open book, it has never considered or appreciated Sudan's contributions.

Due to the annual renewal of these sanctions, the relations between the two countries have grown strange although US is bad need of Sudan. US has special envoys to Sudan and the biggest embassy in Khartoum.

In other words, the US sanctions tend to succumb Sudan to American sovereignty is same was as the European colonization in the past two centuries. According to the existing facts, the crisis is manifested in the mentality of US and not Sudan.

Reacting to these sanctions , Sudanese government condemned the decision, saying it was a big threat to peace and social security of the country.

“The government has rejected the decision of the American President to renew the American unilateral sanctions against Sudan for another year, as well as the justifications given by the US President for renewing these sanctions,” the spokesman of the Sudanese ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr Abubakr Alsidiq, told journalists in Khartoum on Thursday.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses its deep regrets over the decision by the U.S. president to extend the unilateral sanctions which have been imposed on Sudan since 1997, and also rejects the reasons and justifications cited by the U.S. to renew the sanctions, he said.

U.S. administration, since 1977, has been citing different reasons and arguments to justify its targeting of Sudan and its endeavor to economically surround the country in a clear political intrigue.
 
OP appears to be a copy from here

You're supposed to paste a portion, not the whole article.

Best wishes to the people. When I vagabonded in Europe my best buddy Satti was Sudanese. Good people.
