As the war in Sudan enters its third year, experts, activists, and other community members say recent U.S. foreign policy is hurting, not helping, civilians.

This month, the Trump administration banned Sudanese nationals, in addition to 11 other nationalities, from entering the U.S., a couple of weeks after the administration imposed sanctions on the country, claiming the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) used chemical weapons in their fight with Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Both moves, experts say, have drastically reduced resources and mobility for civilians at the center of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis more than they hinder the competing armed forces. As of this April, nearly 13 million people have been displaced, according to the United Nations Refugee Agency.
