K.A Paul meets to President Omar Al-Bashir

In 2010 and 2011, Paul says he spent eight months in Sudan trying to persuade President Omar al-Bashir to sacrifice 60 percent of the government’s wealth and 30 percent of its land to the Christian-majority southern part of the country. Ultimately, Bashir allowed a referendum for southern Sudan to secede and become an independent country. Paul laments that Sudan, despite its sacrifice, hasn’t seen the sanctions relief that America promised the African nation would receive — yet $150 billion in sanctions relief is coming Iran’s way in the nuclear deal.
