October 8 — The United States announced on Tuesday that they are sanctioning a senior leader of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Algoney Hamdan Daglo Musa. He is being sanctioned for his involvement in RSF efforts to procure weapons and other military materiel that have enabled their ongoing operations in Sudan, particularly in El Fasher.
“Algoney’s actions have fueled the war and brutal RSF atrocities against civilians, which have included war crimes, crimes against humanity, and ethnic cleansing,” the U.S. State Department said in a press statement.
“Rather than heed warnings from the United States and other partners, the RSF and its allied militia have continued to commit atrocities, including those involving sexual violence and ethnically targeted attacks on non-Arab groups,” the statement continued.
