Sudan Nashra: Sudanese bid to rejoin global financial system unlikely to succeed amid wartime realities

Sudan sent a delegation to the IMF/World Bank spring meetings to push for re-entry into the global financial system, standing in for a finance minister barred by US sanctions. The angle: Burhan's government is begging back into a system that the 2021 coup he led with Hemedti pushed Sudan out of, while wartime reality and Khartoum's loss of territorial control make the bid implausible. Lead with the absence of the finance minister and the structural blockers — sanctions, fragmented territory, no reform credibility — that make this a performance, not a path back.
