Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Sudan

This document is a formal notice renewing the national emergency with respect to Sudan. Initially declared in 1997, the emergency has been expanded and maintained through multiple Executive Orders over the years due to ongoing concerns about Sudan’s government, the Darfur conflict, and related security and foreign policy threats to the United States. The notice states that the situation in Sudan (including Darfur) continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to U.S. national security and foreign policy, and therefore the emergency must remain in effect beyond November 3, 2025. The renewal leverages the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and the authority established in previous executive orders, allowing the President to continue or adjust sanctions and related measures as needed. The notice is to be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to Congress, and it bears the White House signature dated October 16, 2025. In short, this is not a new policy but a continuation of existing sanctions and emergency powers related to Sudan, enabling the Executive Branch to take further steps if warranted to address the ongoing threat, while preserving the framework set by prior orders.
