 Sudan welcomes US sanctions on RSF leader Dagalo


Sudan has welcomed US sanctions imposed on the commander of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group, Mohammad Hamdan Dagalo, Anadolu Agency reported.


A foreign ministry statement on Wednesday said Dagalo, also known as Hemedti, is responsible for “systematic atrocities committed by the RSF against the Sudanese people.”


The ministry called on all countries around the world to follow the US step in imposing sanctions on the paramilitary group, its leadership, and its backers.


On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that members of the RSF and allied militias committed genocide in Sudan.

The sanctions covered Hemedti, seven companies, and one individual linked to the RSF.

The fighting has resulted in more than 20,000 deaths and displaced over 14 million people, according to estimates from the UN and local authorities.
