The US on Tuesday imposed sanctions on Mohammed Hamdani Daglo, also known as Hemedti, the leader of Sudan’s paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF), for committing ‘genocide’ in Darfur.
The move is the first direct penalty to the topmost leader of a warring faction in Sudan, whose war against the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) has led to more than 20,000 deaths since April 2023.
