Biden orders sanctions to address Sudan's destabilization and violence.

President Biden has expanded the scope of the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13067 of November 3, 1997, and imposed sanctions on certain persons destabilizing Sudan and undermining the goal of a democratic transition. The United States aims to support a transition to democracy and civilian transitional government in Sudan, defend such a transitional government from those who would prevent its initial formation through violence and other methods, and protect it from those who would undermine it. The sanctions target foreign persons responsible for actions or policies that threaten the peace, security, or stability of Sudan, obstruct, undermine, delay, or impede Sudan's transition to democracy, or violate human rights.
