Analyst: Pompeo flubbed attempt to bully Sudan into ties with Israel
Sudan expert Marc Lavergne of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) says signals out of Khartoum show that the US bungled its bid to get Sudan to normalize relations with Israel.
He calls Tuesday’s developments “a failure for the Americans, who thought they could force a poor and fragile country like Sudan to normalize its relations with Israel.”
“But the Sudanese government reacted wisely,” he says. Sudan “is already divided enough, there’s no need to add more with (the question of) normalization with Israel, on which there’s no consensus. Sudan has other fish to fry with all the problems it has.”
