Sudan and Israel to start normalizing relations
US President Donald Trump hangs up a phone call with the leaders of Sudan and Israel in the Oval Office of the White House, Oct. 23, 2020.
Sudan is set to start normalizing relations with Israel. The move comes as the US removes Sudan from its list of state sponsors of terrorism. And, China’s Belt and Road Initiative is transforming countries across the globe with new infrastructure, mining and factories. But physical investments are only part of the story: China is making a digital power play, too. Also, despite the ongoing unrest in Mali and a pandemic, Timbuktu-based music group Songhoy Blues is optimistic.
