A United Nations Security Council committee has sanctioned two generals from Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for destabilising the country through violence and human rights abuses.
These are the first UN sanctions in the current war in Sudan, which erupted on April 15, 2023, as a result of a power struggle between the RSF led by Mohamed Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.
