Sudan criticized the US Treasury Department's decision to sanction Sudanese Armed Forces leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on Thursday.The US sanctions on al-Burhan lack justice and objectivity, stemming from baseless justifications, Sudan's Foreign Ministry stated. The ministry asserted the decision was disrespectful to the Sudanese people who back al-Burhan and his fight against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).The Sudanese Foreign Ministry argued that the "flawed" US decision supports those committing genocide and will not deter the Sudanese people from resisting "terrorist militias." The ministry affirmed that this "immoral" decision will not affect their resolve or unity in cleansing their land and rebuilding a stronger Sudan.Earlier, the US concluded that the RSF and allied militias were responsible for committing genocide in Sudan, citing their direct attacks on civilians, systematic killing of certain ethnic groups, and targeting of women and girls for abuse and rape.The conflict in Sudan began in April 2023, stemming from a struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces during a planned transition to civilian rule. The ongoing conflict resulted in over 12,000 deaths and the displacement of millions.

Earlier, the US treasury sanctioned the Sudanese leader for "choosing war over good-faith negotiation" in the context of the civil conflict in the North African country, accusing the Sudanese army of human right abuses.
Sudan criticized the US Treasury Department's decision to sanction Sudanese Armed Forces leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on Thursday.
The US sanctions on al-Burhan lack justice and objectivity, stemming from baseless justifications, Sudan's Foreign Ministry stated. The ministry asserted the decision was disrespectful to the Sudanese people who back al-Burhan and his fight against the
Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
"The US administration's decision to impose sanctions on the commander of the armed forces, who defends the Sudanese people against the genocide plan, just days before the administration's term ends, reflects confusion and a weak sense of confidence,” the ministry's statement said.
The Sudanese Foreign Ministry argued that the "flawed"
US decision supports those committing genocide and will not deter the Sudanese people from resisting "terrorist militias." The ministry affirmed that this "immoral" decision will not affect their resolve or unity in cleansing their land and rebuilding a stronger Sudan.
Earlier, the US concluded that the RSF and allied militias were responsible for committing
genocide in Sudan, citing their direct attacks on civilians, systematic killing of certain ethnic groups, and targeting of women and girls for abuse and rape.
The conflict in Sudan began in April 2023, stemming from a struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces during a planned transition to civilian rule. The ongoing conflict resulted in over 12,000 deaths and the displacement of millions.
