US EditionUS Designates Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood as Terrorists
The U.S. targets the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood for mass executions and Iran-backed training, with 20,000 fighters involved, expanding sanctions to curb terrorism and violence.
- On Monday, the State Department announced it is designating the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood as a SDGT and plans to add it to the FTO list effective March 16, 2026, Rubio said.

- Using Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and Executive Order 13224, the SDGT label blocks property and bans most dealings, while the FTO adds criminal penalties and bans material support.
- Humanitarian and relief agencies warn the designation could create regulatory ambiguity for banks and jeopardize aid transfers, while the United Arab Emirates and Rapid Support Forces welcomed the move.
- Framed as part of U.S. efforts to curb Iran's influence, the designation expands the Trump administration's crackdown amid a humanitarian crisis with 33.7 million needing aid and 13.6 million displaced.
