The United States will not resume economic assistance to Sudan that was paused after a coup unless there is an end to violence and a civilian-led government is restored, a statement posted by the U.S. embassy in Khartoum on Thursday said.
The statement, issued during a visit to Sudan by two senior U.S. envoys, said the United States would consider measures to hold accountable those responsible for a failure to move forward on a political transition and create a "peaceful environment" for it to proceed. It did not say what such measures could involve.
