Nationwide protests have taken place since October 7 despite the disbanding of the controversial Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) police unit.

The demonstrators have been accused of attacking police stations and personnel. 

The rallies which are mostly attended by young people have become avenues to vent against corruption and unemployment. 

Rights groups say at least 15 people have been killed the demonstrations began in early October.

President Donald Trump signalled Sudan would be removed from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism if it pays compensation of $335 million to American terror victims and their families.

The move would open the door for Sudan to receive much needed international loans and aid to revive its battered economy.

Sudan has been listed since 1993 when al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden lived in the country as a guest of the government.

The compensation relates to the victims of the 1998 bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, attacks conducted by Bin Laden’s al-Qaida network while he was living in Sudan which killed more than 200 people.

Trump made the announcement on Twitter. 

Sudan's Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, who took office last year, welcomed the announcement, also on Twitter. 

The move could also help Sudan's transition to democracy.  Last year a popular uprising led to the military overthrow of autocratic leader Omar al-Bashir.

A military-civilian government now rules the country  with elections possible in late 2022.

The announcement, just two weeks ahead of the U.S. presidential election, also comes as the Trump administration works to get other Arab countries, such as Sudan, to join the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain’s recent recognition of Israel.
