US Department of State Takes Action Against Senior RSF Commanders in Sudan

The United States Department of State and Department of the Treasury are taking actions against two senior commanders of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan for their involvement in gross human rights violations. RSF General Abdul Rahman Juma is facing visa restrictions for his role in the kidnapping and killing of the Governor of West Darfur, while RSF senior commander Abdelrahim Hamdan Dagalo is being sanctioned for his connection to the RSF's human rights abuses against civilians, including sexual violence and killings based on ethnicity. The United States is committed to promoting accountability and justice for the victims and calls on all external actors to avoid fueling the conflict in Sudan.
