US sanctions or not, I'm sure they did not make $8.9 billion on those transactions.
The Sudanese government could likely still purchase weapons with euros or roubles.
The only situation where sanctions are effective (for now) is when countries need to sell commodities into USD, i.e. oil. But that is also changing as the dollar becomes less of a global reserve currency.
