U.S. Sanctions RSF Leaders in Sudan for Genocide

On January 7, 2025, the United States Department of State declared that the leaders of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and RSF-aligned militias in Sudan have committed genocide in the armed conflict occurring in that country. In particular, the U.S. named RSF leader Mohammad Hamdam Daglo Mousa, known as Hemedti, for his role in systematic atrocities committed against the Sudanese people. The U.S. also designated several RSF-owned companies located in the United Arab Emirates and one individual for their roles in procuring weapons for the RSF.[1]
