US Sanctions RSF Leader for Genocide as Sudanese Conflict Escalates

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken outlines severe allegations against the RSF amid ongoing humanitarian crises in Sudan.


The U.S. government has taken a firm stance against the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF), accusing its leader of genocide while imposing sanctions. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that the enforcement is a response to systematic violence perpetrated against the Sudanese people. The RSF denies these allegations, arguing that the U.S. approach reveals a double standard and could hinder efforts to resolve the conflict.

The conflict in Sudan between the RSF and the Sudanese military has been described as one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Blinken pointed out the shocking scale of violence, including charges of murder and sexual violence. He emphasized that neither the RSF nor the Sudanese military possesses the legitimacy needed to govern a peaceful future for Sudan. In light of these sanctions, the RSF and its spokesman have criticized the U.S. government, arguing it fails to address the complexities of the crisis effectively and may complicate future negotiations.

The deteriorating situation has resulted in alarming humanitarian conditions, with famine conditions reported in various regions, affecting nearly half of Sudan's population. As the humanitarian crisis deepens, the international community is faced with questions regarding the most effective responses to this ongoing conflict.
