  • Sudan's Rapid Support Forces has used systematic murder and sexual violence in its war in Sudan, the U.S. government says as it sanctions RSF's chief, Hemedti.

The U.S. has officially declared that the ongoing conflict in Sudan constitutes genocide, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken stating that members of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied militias are committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, and ethnic cleansing. This declaration comes amidst a brutal civil war that erupted in April 2023 between Sudan's military and the RSF, leading to widespread violence, displacement, and atrocities, particularly in the Darfur region. The U.S. has responded by imposing sanctions on RSF leader Abdelrahim Hamdan Dagalo, aiming to hold accountable those responsible for the atrocities. The conflict has resulted in over 14,000 deaths and displaced more than 8 million people, with the violence characterized by targeted attacks on civilians based on their ethnicity.
