Comment: Chad might feel hard done-by to suffer this punishment despite its counter-terrorism track record, while its eastern neighbor Sudan, labelled as a state sponsor of terrorism by our State Dept., is being removed from Trump's 'bad list' books.
Sudan will see its omission from the travel ban list as a sign that the Trump administration will also remove wider economic sanctions on the country on 12 October.
The US sanctions were put in place when Sudan was named a state sponsor of terrorism, while further penalties were imposed for alleged abuses carried out in the troubled Darfur region.
But in Trump's eyes, Sudan bad, Chad not so much. Hmmm.
