Which goals that Washington seeks from sanctions against Sudan?

Written- Amani Al-Tawil- Egyptian writer and researcher- why now? What is the purpose of US sanctions on Sudan? What is its direct impact on the current Sudanese authority and also the daily life of the citizen?

The US sanctions that were previously approved after the outbreak of the Sudanese war were confined to the scope of army companies or individuals belonging to it, as well as companies affiliated with the “Rapid Support Forces” forces and individuals belonging to it. This time, the US sanctions seem influential, perhaps in the first reading of Sudanese destinies.

From here, the American decision produced expected questions in the Arab Sudanese and regional contexts, especially since it will acknowledge in the first week of June (June), after notifying Congress according to the statements of the US State Department spokesperson, despite the fact that the American decision does not rise to the required level of the necessary credibility in such cases related to the state of the state that exercises and approves sanctions on another country, especially since the first is in the ranks of countries leading to the global regime.

In this context, we are facing accusations of the Sudanese army based on intelligence information that is not available to view it, says Cameron Hudson, an American researcher with a diplomatic and intelligence professional background at the same time. Of course, we do not rely on Hudson’s position here, but we only refer to the lack of steps required to make the issue of accusing the Sudanese army of using chemical weapons in the current Sudanese war, fulfilling the independent and professional verification required for the approval of US sanctions, in light of the Sudanese memory that still remembers the beating of the Al -Shifa Factory in Khartoum with an American missile attack in 1998, with allegations that have not been valid for the production of the factory weapons. Chemical.

Also, the Arab memory still remembers the allegations of the Western camp led by Washington and London on the use of Iraq, chemical weapons, which were later apologized from the highest British diplomatic levels, but after everyone cost to fight a war it cost at the geopolitic and financial levels huge.

Regarding the current situation, that is, the Sudanese army practiced the crime of using chemical weapons, the US administration was supposed to determine the type of chemical weapon and the area in which it was used, and its direct impact on humans through documented and independent evidence. These tasks are the functions of the International Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which the US administration was required to resort to non -publicly, to verify and prove American intelligence information or not.

It is natural under the umbrella of the current military conflict in Sudan and the sharp political polarization that results in receiving American accusations of the Sudanese army, individuals, groups and political forces, which are biased towards them and promoters of their position, as some videos were received by some Sudanese parties regarding the use of chemical weapons in Sudan, it says they are realistic but without documenting the impact on human beings, and without evidence that these videos have been filmed in Sudan at the present time, as there is, as there is Other accusations against the Sudanese army by the Sudanese local parties dating back to 2003.

In light of Washington’s lack of evidence until now, evidence of what you go to, I think that the Sudanese army should collect videos that it condemns on social media, and declares its reality with its investigative tools and is not satisfied with media statements or a political attack on the United States of America.

As for the expected American sanctions and its direct impact on the Sudanese level, according to the American statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the expected sanctions are related to credit lines, that is, it will include restrictions on both exports, aid and grants to Sudan, as it will prohibit Sudan of the ability to borrow from international organizations.

According to that, the Sudanese economy will definitely be affected by imposing this type of sanctions of a negative economic nature, which will be reflected on the Sudanese citizen, but this influence will be dependent on the fact that the United States and its allies are the only source of exports to Sudan, which is unrealistic, given the presence of other sources of importing goods even technological ones from the Chinese alternative, but at the level of aid it is known that the Trump administration may The US Agency for Development has been suspended, so the size of the Sudanese influence by preventing exports and aid will be limited.

We note, according to the aforementioned data, that the previous American sanctions series was balanced between the two parties to the conflict, meaning that they have imposed on companies and individuals representing both the army and also the “Rapid Support” forces. As for these sanctions, it only singled out the army by Washington. Of course, there may be political purposes for Washington according to the punitive pattern that was signed against Lieutenant General Abdel -Fattah al -Burhan, as it came after the failure of Switzerland negotiations in August 2024 as a result of the army commander’s decision not to engage in it, as Washington was hoping that this platform would contribute to stopping the war.

American political goals can be crystallized from the recent sanctions in a number of points, including:

Exercising the maximum pressure on the army leadership with the aim of giving up the option of military decisiveness, which appears to be continued in light of the recent operations in areas of Kordofan, as well as steadfastness towards the siege of Darfur.

– Washington possesses fatal pressure papers against the army, which will be weighed on the Jeddah platform in the event of reaching it, which is an American approach to an American more than once in the Sudanese context, especially in the direction of pressure to separate southern Sudan, as it was waved in the event of the involvement in the attempt to assassinate Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak during his reign.

– Demanding with Israeli strategic plans in implementing the strategies of tightening parties for both Egypt and Sudan, which depend on the rebels’ support for the center or pressure on it with problems on its borders adjacent, where the Jewish societies with human and charitable facades in the United States are currently active in Darfur and East Chad to deal with the Sudanese displaced in it, and feed the culture of the fools against Khartoum, taking advantage of its policy In the lack of balance on the one hand, and the practice of ethnic and ethnic transcendence in the areas of the outskirts of Sudan.

– Meet the trends of American companies and others to obtain Sudanese resources with unfair financial returns in order to meet the needs of American and international business societies.

In general, it seems that the American relations with Port Sudan will witness a stage of complexity that will only reduce its impact on regional interventions from both Cairo and Riyadh in a pressure and applied of understandings between the two capital, as well as the appointment of an American envoy to Sudan in the next stage that may be able to understand the complications and composition of the Sudanese file, and may benefit from the experiences of former envoy Tom Perilio and the former democratic administration on him.
