US EditionThe EU sanctions a Sudanese paramilitary leader after atrocities by his forces in Darfur
The EU targeted Abdelrahim Hamdan Dagalo with visa bans and asset freezes due to RSF atrocities including mass executions and ethnic violence in Darfur, amid a conflict displacing 12 million.
- On Thursday, the European Union imposed sanctions on Abdel-Rahim Hamdan Dagalo, deputy leader of the Rapid Support Forces, condemning atrocities linked to last month’s el-Fasher seizure, Kaja Kallas said.
- Amnesty International and other researchers reported the Rapid Support Forces allegedly committed mass executions, sexual violence, starvation, and denied aid in el-Fasher, supported by satellite imagery and survivor testimony.
- Humanitarian agencies report that the conflict has displaced 12 million people and, according to the World Health Organization, killed at least 40,000.
- Officials said the move signals that perpetrators will be pursued as the European Union stands ready to impose further measures, while international prosecutors and accountability advocates urged documentation and prosecution.
- The conflict dates back to April 15, 2023, and mediators from the Quad proposed a truce earlier this month after which the RSF declared a three-month humanitarian pause amid disputed accusations of external support.
