US EditionWhite House moves to designate Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist group
The U.S. State Department targets the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood for violent acts and ties to Iran's IRGC, with about 20,000 fighters involved in Sudan's conflict, officials said.
- The U.S. State Department announced the designation of the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist entity, with plans to label it a Foreign Terrorist Organization effective March 16, 2026, as stated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
- The Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood's armed wing, the al-Baraa Bin Malik Brigade, has been involved in mass executions of civilians during the Sudan conflict and is backed and trained by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
- The designation blocks the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood's access to the U.S. financial system, prohibiting U.S. persons from conducting business with the group and warning of sanctions for violations.
- This action follows earlier U.S. designations of Muslim Brotherhood branches in Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan as terrorist organizations, highlighting ties with Iran and the group's role in the Sudan conflict.
