The Obama administration has unveiled a new strategy toward Sudan. The White House plans to renew tough economic sanctions against the African nation while promising broad engagement with Khartoum in an effort to end the genocide in Darfur. Secretary of State Clinton declined to specify what incentives would be offered Sudan, saying they were part of a classified strategy document.

Hillary Clinton: “Our strategy has three principal objectives: first, an end to conflict, gross human rights abuses, war crimes and genocide in Darfur; second, implementation of the comprehensive peace agreement that results in a united and peaceful Sudan after 2011 or an orderly path toward two separate and viable states at peace with each other; and third, a Sudan that does not provide a safe haven for terrorists.”

Analysts said the United States might consider removing Sudan from the US list of state sponsors of terror or expanding the number of Sudanese officials targeted for sanctions.
