Overview
- The European Union imposed a travel ban and asset freeze on Abdelrahim Hamdan Dagalo, citing RSF targeting of civilians, sexual violence, starvation tactics and blocked aid after the capture of El Fasher, and said more listings could follow.
- British ministers said UK sanctions are being prepared, while EU leaders pressed for renewed ceasefire talks and unhindered humanitarian access.
- Humanitarian conditions have spiraled: famine is confirmed in El Fasher and Kadugli, more than 100,000 people fled El Fasher since October 26, and Doctors Without Borders reports children arriving severely malnourished.
- The war has produced the world’s largest displacement crisis, with nearly 13 million people uprooted and more than 4 million fleeing to neighboring countries, including 86,000 Sudanese registered in Libya.
- Reporting by investigators links RSF resupply to UAE‑connected cargo flights through Chad and eastern Libya, allegations the UAE denies, and fact‑checkers exposed an AI‑generated fundraising video exploiting the crisis.
