Last week on my way to work I spent the whole bus ride listening to a group of 8th graders talking about how excited they were for Trump 2020, how they planed to mobilize their apolitical friends to support Trump, and how they needed to start a political podcast.

What right wing hell hole do you live in?

Good.

Wanna help clarify what's wrong with her using ti as an example of the US having positive impacts on a suffering, terrorist-laden developing nation?

Despite policy disagreements, the U.S. has been a major donor of humanitarian aid to the Sudan throughout the last quarter century. The U.S. was also a significant source in the March 1989 "Operation Lifeline Sudan," which delivered 100,000 metric tons of food into both government and SPLA-held areas of the Sudan, thus averting widespread starvation. In 1991, the U.S. made large donations to alleviate food shortages caused by a two-year drought. In a similar drought in 2000-01, the U.S. and the broader international community responded to avert mass starvation in the Sudan. In 2001 the Bush Administration named a Presidential Envoy for Peace in the Sudan to explore what role the U.S. could play in ending Sudan's civil war and enhancing the delivery of humanitarian aid. For fiscal years 2005-2006, the U.S. Government committed almost $2.6 billion to Sudan for humanitarian assistance and peacekeeping in Darfur as well as support for implementation of the peace accord and reconstruction and development in southern Sudan.

However, relations between both countries have, at least, the chance to improve since President Barack Obama's sending of Special Envoy Scott Gration to Sudan to improve diplomatic conditions, and discuss ways to avert the current Darfur conflict. On September 9, 2009, the United States has published a new law to ease the sanctions on parts of Sudan. Obama named Donald E. Booth as his special envoy for Sudan and South Sudan on 28 August 2013.[4][5] On January 13, 2017, the United States lifted economic and trade sanctions on Sudan due to cooperation with the Sudanese government in fighting terrorism, reducing conflict, and denying safe haven to South Sudanese rebels and improving humanitarian access to people in need. The White House announced the easing of sanctions as part of a five-track engagement process.[6] On March 16, 2017, the US and Sudan announced the resumption of military relations after exchanging military attachés.[7] In April 2017, it was announced that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), which was “especially keen to see sanctions lifted“, had decided to open a large office in Khartoum.[8][9] Sudan was also removed from the list of Muslim-majority countries on the American travel ban.[8] On 6 October 2017 America permanently lifted all 1997 sanctions after Sudan cut all ties with the North Korean regime of Kim Jong Un.[8] In September 2019, Sudan's prime minister stated that he held useful talks with U.S. officials while at the United Nations, and expressed hope Khartoum could be “very soon" removed from Washington's state-sponsored terrorism list.[10]

Simillion .. So, posting a bunch of random wikipedia content must mean you do not have a clue about the current situation and recent history.

The US did their typical neo-liberal routine. Barged in, *created* south Sudan, by supporting certain factions militarily and allowing them to take over that region. Starting the civil war, which caused the 2017 famine + a total collapse of law and order.

Thank you for explaining.

Sometimes you can't just assume everyone knows the same things you do.

After all, the wikipedia article literally stops where it leaves off above, and nobody has updated it since.

Since you know about these events so well, it might behoove you to raise awareness of our failings by contributing to the article yourself. along with sources.

That is what it is for.
