U.S. Sanctions Sudanese RSF Leader for Arms Procurement
The sanctions target Algoney Hamdan Daglo Musa for supplying weapons to the RSF, exacerbating Sudan's humanitarian crisis.
- Algoney Hamdan Daglo Musa, brother of RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, is sanctioned for his role in arming the RSF.
- The U.S. Treasury accuses Algoney of contributing to the ongoing siege in El Fasher, worsening the crisis in North Darfur.
- The conflict, which began in April 2023, has resulted in over 20,000 deaths and displaced millions, according to the U.N.
- Sanctions freeze Algoney's U.S. assets and block U.S. citizens from doing business with him.
- International efforts for a ceasefire have so far failed, with both sides accused of war crimes and atrocities against civilians.
