MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The plan will allow Sudan to buy farming resources and attract much-needed investment from the United States to help its failing economy, The New York Times reported on Friday.
While Sudan has reportedly shown early signs of good faith and cooperation, the plan is set to include a six-month review period to ensure that Sudan complies with all agreements. If the African nation does not meet the terms of agreement within this period of time, the sanctions can be reinstated.

In response, Washington issued a sanctions program which imposed comprehensive trade sanctions and blocked assets of the Sudanese government.
