US Imposes Sanctions on Five Entities Fueling Sudan Civil War Stalemate
On April 18, 2026, the US Treasury Department sanctioned five actors for their involvement in the Sudan conflict as it enters its fourth year. The measures target individuals and logistics networks accused of supplying weapons and funding to the warring Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The move comes amid reports that the RSF is establishing a parallel banking system and issuing its own currency in controlled territories in Darfur.
