U.S. Determines Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces Committed War Crimes

Despite ongoing peace talks, conflict continues in Sudan, leading to a major humanitarian crisis.

The U.S. has determined that both the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have committed war crimes, crimes against humanity, and ethnic cleansing in Sudan.
The conflict, which began in April, has resulted in ethnic violence, particularly in the Darfur region, and has caused a major humanitarian crisis.
The U.S. has already imposed sanctions on RSF and Sudanese army officials for their actions in other parts of the country, and has the authority to impose more.
The conflict has displaced more than 6.5 million people and has led to an estimated death toll in the thousands.
Despite ongoing Saudi and U.S.-brokered peace talks, the conflict continues with both sides pressing on with their military campaigns.
