Sudan has paid $335 million as agreed to compensate victims of past anti-US attacks as part of a deal that removed the struggling country from the US terror blacklist, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday.

The transitional, civilian-backed government provided the funds for survivors and victims' families from attacks including the 1998 bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania by Al-Qaeda, which was backed by Sudan's then dictator.
"We hope this aids them in finding some resolution for the terrible tragedies that occurred," Blinken said in a statement.
"With this challenging process behind us, US-Sudan relations can start a new chapter," he said.
