Sudan: UK sanctions four paramilitary commanders over 'mass killings'

The UK imposed asset freezes and travel bans on four RSF commanders accused of mass killings and sexual violence in El Fasher, pledging £21 million in humanitarian aid.

  • On Friday, Britain sanctioned senior RSF commanders, imposing travel bans and freezing their assets.
  • Evidence including satellite photos and geolocated footage revealed BBC Verify-confirmed video from October showing executions, investigations documenting siege tactics, and Yale University's Humanitarian Research Lab satellite imagery of mass graves in el‑Fasher, Darfur.
  • The UK named Abdul Rahim Hamdan Dagalo, Gedo Hamdan Ahmed, and Tijani Ibrahim Moussa Mohamed, accusing them of mass killings, sexual violence, and attacks on civilians, supported by prison footage and social-media removals.
  • Alongside sanctions, Britain announced a £21m UK government aid package for civilians in remote areas, while UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper called the atrocities `a scar on the conscience of the world`.
  • The move followed the United States' sanctions two days earlier and international diplomatic plan for a three-month truce, amid civilians displaced and broader civil war context since April 2023.
