I told you about some secret deal between US and Sudan

"The US wants China and Arab states to help foot the $3bn bill for a deal designed to unlock oil production and set Sudan and South Sudan back on the path to peace.
...
The US is unable to fund that because of the sanctions it applies to Khartoum. But mediators and diplomats told the Financial Times that Washington planned to encourage other donors to step in, and would waive sanctions affecting dollar transfers." (thanks Karim)
