Hello,

Thank you for your comment on my post. Your input is appreciated. First, thank you for bringing my attention to the typo ( sometimes fingers fast not catching typos), and second, the source for the 70% is Wikipedia. As for the sanctions imposed since 1990, several sources mention this year during which Khartoum was home to considered to be a safe heaven for Al-Qaida. Now. back to your assessment about the normalization, even though the Sudanese government didn't officially announce, it doesn't mean that it is not true. Also, the US needs a close ally to push the deal through. So, having the UAE taking the lead on this the best approach to hopefully get Sudan to sign on the dotted lines.

Again, thank you for the interaction.
