U.S. Imposes Sanctions on Networks Fueling Sudan Civil War
The U.S. Department of the Treasury sanctioned eight individuals and entities on June 26, 2026, for supporting procurement and recruitment for the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The sanctions follow U.S. accusations at the UN Security Council regarding the use of chemical weapons by the SAF. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated the move targets those profiting from the conflict, as Washington calls for an immediate three-month humanitarian truce to mitigate the crisis.
