US Congress Introduces Bills to Tighten Sanctions on Sudan's Warring Sides
On August 1, 2026, the U.S. Congress introduced two major bills designed to reshape Washington's policy toward the Sudanese civil war. The legislation aims to anchor sanctions against the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) within a legal framework that limits executive discretion. The bills target funding sources linked to human rights abuses, as international pressure mounts over the conflict's toll, which has displaced over 11 million people.
