The US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned on Wednesday Abdelrahim Hamdan Dagalo for his leadership of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to a release.Dagalo is a high-ranking RSF leader and brother of RSF Commander Lt. Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.Since the beginning of conflict between the RSF and Sudan's Army Chief Denies Dealin April, both sides have failed to implement a ceasefire, and the RSF and allied militias have been credibly accused of extensive human rights abuses in Darfur and elsewhere, the Treasury said. The Department of State also announced on Wednesday that it was imposing visa restrictions on RSF General and West Darfur Sector Commander Abdul Rahman Juma for his alleged involvement in a gross violation of human rights. On June 15, RSF forces led by Gen. Juma kidnapped and killed the governor of West Darfur, Khamis Abbakar, and his brother, the State Department said, citing "credible sources."

US Sanctions Two Senior Commanders of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces
According to the Treasury, RSF members have engaged in acts of violence and human rights abuses, including the massacre of civilians, ethnic killings, and use of sexual violence.
The US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned on Wednesday Abdelrahim Hamdan Dagalo for his leadership of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to a release.
Dagalo is a high-ranking RSF leader and brother of RSF Commander Lt. Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
"Today’s action demonstrates Treasury’s commitment to hold accountable those responsible for serious and extensive human rights abuses in Sudan," Brian E. Nelson, under secretary of the treasury’s Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, said. "The United States urges both sides of the conflict to cease the hostilities and violence perpetuating Sudan’s dire humanitarian crisis."
Since the beginning of conflict between the RSF and Sudan's Army Chief Denies Dealin April, both sides have failed to implement a ceasefire, and the RSF and allied militias have been credibly accused of extensive human rights abuses in Darfur and elsewhere, the Treasury said.
The Department of State also announced on Wednesday that it was imposing visa restrictions on RSF General and West Darfur Sector Commander Abdul Rahman Juma for his alleged involvement in a gross violation of human rights.
