Are Sanctions Working in Sudan?

The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) published on 12 October 2017 a commentary titled "Are Sanctions Working in Sudan?" by Peter Fabricius, ISS consultant.

Fabricius argues that the Trump administration's partial lifting of sanctions against Sudan reflects a carrot-and-stick approach. The partial improvement in Sudan's behavior is rewarded by the partial easing of sanctions. Perhaps that will encourage further improvement. Or perhaps not.
