US declares Sudan's RSF committed genocide, imposes sanctions on leader and companies.

The US has determined that Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have committed genocide in the ongoing civil war, resulting in sanctions on the group's leader, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, and seven RSF-owned companies. The conflict, which began in April 2023, has led to over 24,000 deaths and millions displaced, now classified as the world's worst humanitarian crisis. The RSF has been accused of targeting civilians, including ethnic killings and sexual violence. The sanctions aim to hold the RSF accountable and deter further violence.
