The United States has imposed sanctions on a paramilitary leader in Sudan for leading efforts to supply weapons to fuel the war in the African country.
The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control said it sanctioned Algoney Hamdan Daglo Musa for "involvement in RSF efforts to procure weapons and other military materiel that have enabled the RSF's ongoing operations in Sudan."
Algoney is the procurement director of Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, and the brother of RSF leader Mohammed Hamdan Daglo. Algoney has extended the one and a half year old war by leading RSF efforts to procure weapons and military materials. By arming the RSF, his actions have directly contributed to the RSF's ongoing siege of El Fasher in North Darfur, a city of nearly two million vulnerable civilians, and the RSF's operations elsewhere in Sudan.
