U.S. officials are considering sanctions and reportedly weighing plans to declare a genocide, but time is running out.
Women walk through a war-torn neighborhood in Omdurman on Nov. 2. Sudan’s war has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands and the displacement of 11 million people, according to the United Nations.In its waning weeks, President Joe Biden’s administration has revved up engagement on Sudan in an attempt to end, or at least pause, a devastating war that has created the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
And yet this war has received far less attention than the conflicts in the Middle East and Russia’s war in Ukraine, from governments around the world or the global public. A last-ditch effort by Biden’s team is hoping to change that. It’s a welcome move after significant neglect, but it’s unlikely to shift the needle far enough to deliver peace.U.S.

But what effect would such sanctions have on a warlord who doesn’t engage with the U.S. economy? Unless the U.S.
