The Biden administration announced on Tuesday that it has determined Sudan's paramilitary group and its proxies are committing genocide in the country's civil war. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that the conflict, considered the world's biggest current humanitarian catastrophe, has escalated beyond previous war crimes and ethnic cleansing determinations made in December 2023.
Blinken's statement highlighted that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) group is engaging in genocide, leading to the imposition of sanctions on RSF leader Mohammad Hamdan Daglo Mousa, also known as Hemedti, and seven RSF-owned companies based in the United Arab Emirates.
