The administration had taken a decision "to move up our readiness to rescind the designation of Sudan as a state sponsor of terrorism as early as July 2011," bigwigs told journalists during a conference call. This was provided that the Khartoum government prepares and conducts a "transparent on-time referendum on the status of southern Sudan" and "reflects the results of that referendum," the officials said. Between January and July, Khartoum must also "implement all the appropriate post-referendum agreements as relates to among other things border demarcation, oil revenue sharing, currency, citizenship, and other matters." | |

| #3 Undesignate them, and they'll still be a state sponsor of terrorism. Pakistan sponsors terror too but they're not designated either. |
