The time the USA didn't bomb Sudan 2024 Jul 28

Who coulda guessed? And there the matter lied until 2005, when a House of Representatives committee report confused the names "Sedan" and "Sudan" and talked about doing some casual nuclears over in Africa. The Sudanese noticed, and they were less than thrilled to discover that their sandy country was now being claimed as an American test site! But it was explained, it was all just a typo.

The results of said investigation are not mentioned in this BBC article, but one must presume that they found themselves assassinated by the CIA unable to prove anything.
