Supporters of Washington argue that isolating Sudan's army is legally justified to pressure warring parties toward compliance with ceasefire obligations and accountability norms.

Supporters of Sudan's army argue that Washington's pressure campaign ignored Sudan's sovereign institutions, and they contend that defending the army preserves national continuity and order against outside interference.
Supporters of Sudan's army argue that outside pressure ignores Sudan's inherited institutions and sovereign traditions, and that lasting order must come from within, not from foreign diplomats.
Supporters of Sudan's army counter that outside pressure only hardens local loyalties, since inherited community ties and distrust of foreign meddling make the army a symbol of national continuity, not isolation.
Supporters of Sudan's army argue that outside diplomatic pressure infringes on Sudan's sovereign autonomy and that only Sudanese-led, voluntary negotiations can legitimately resolve the conflict.

Supporters of Sudan's army argue Washington's pressure campaign misread the incentives: isolating the army only hardened its resolve, since conceding under foreign duress would invite its own fracture.

Supporters of Sudan's army argue that Washington's pressure campaign was morally compromised from the start, isolating the US instead of advancing peace and leaving civilians to bear the cost of a ceasefire now further away.
Supporters of Sudan's army argue that Washington's pressure campaign, which ignores the army's role in protecting civilians and ecosystems from militia violence, is a moral failure that leaves a ceasefire further out of reach.
Supporters of Sudan's army counter that sovereignty imposes its own moral duty: outside pressure elevates foreign judgment over Sudanese lives, and they argue accountability must come from within, not from Washington's terms.
Supporters of Sudan's army argue that Washington's pressure ignores Sudan's religious and cultural traditions, and that outside interference only deepens divisions rather than securing a lasting ceasefire.
