  • The United States determined on Tuesday that members of Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied militias committed genocide in Sudan and it imposed sanctions on the group's leader over a conflict that has killed tens of thousands of people and driven millions from their homes.

The United States is set to impose sanctions on Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the leader of Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to sources cited by Reuters on January 7, 2025. These sanctions are in response to the ongoing conflict in Sudan, where the RSF has been engaged in a power struggle with the Sudanese army since April 2023. The conflict has led to significant civilian casualties and displacement, exacerbating a humanitarian crisis. The sanctions aim to address the violence and human rights abuses attributed to the RSF, reflecting international efforts to pressure both conflicting parties towards a ceasefire and peace negotiations.
