The United States of America is imposing a penalty on the deputy leader of Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, RSF, over human rights abuses. This announcement was made by the U.S. envoy to the United Nations during a trip to Chad’s border with Sudan on Wednesday, September 6.
This plan to target Abdelrahim Dagalo, the brother of the RSF commander, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, aka Hemedti, is the highest use of prohibition since the fighting between the RSF and Sudan’s army began in mid-April and an apparent response to the considerable violence perpetuated in West Darfur, which the RSF is being blamed of committing along with its allied militias.
The RSF has meanwhile, denied the accusations by witnesses, conflict monitors, and rights groups accusing it of being behind the violence, stating that if any of its soldiers was found to be involved they would be brought to justice.
Since the conflict broke out in Sudan on April 15, the RSF and allied militias have been accused of several human rights abuses in Darfur and elsewhere, the Treasury added.
The conflict had begun four years after ex-President Omar al-Bashir was expelled by a famous uprising.
