The civil suit brought yesterday on behalf of victims of atrocity crimes for which the NIF/NCP regime in Khartoum is responsible marks a moment of extraordinary revelation. Nor has it mattered to Obama administration officials that the regime has essentially destroyed the Sudanese economy and thereby imposed terrible hardship on the people of Sudan (see | http://sudanreeves.org/2015/12/09/7041/). We can expect nothing encouraging on Sudan from the incoming "America First" administration of a racist Donald Trump. Though promising not to "avert his eyes from human slaughter," he has ended doing precisely that in Sudan--departing office with a contemptibly implausible claim of "positive actions" by the Khartoum regime. Sudanese who understand the implications of Obama's actions and policies will not forgive him--and neither will history.
