Biden ramps up sanctions on Sudan over ongoing violence.

President Biden has authorized new sanctions on individuals who threaten the peace, security, or stability of Sudan, commit human rights abuses, or undermine its democratic transition. The move comes as the country experiences ongoing violence between two leading generals vying for control. Despite multiple declared cease-fires, the violence continues, with hundreds of thousands displaced and more than 100,000 refugees fleeing Sudan. The U.N.'s refugee agency has warned that more than 800,000 could flee Sudan because of the violence. Biden called for a durable cease-fire and a transition to civilian authority.
