Warming in US-Sudan Relations?

Gulf News published on 21 September 2016 an article titled "US Eyes Rapprochement with Sudan in Nod to Allies."

Quoting the State Department press spokesman's friendly comments about US-Sudan cooperation on countering terrorism, the article suggests the US "is now eyeing a rapprochement with Sudan." I would caution that the US has been down this road on several previous occasions with no appreciable improvement in bilateral relations.
