Sudan,Civil War,Genocide

The Biden administration has formally determined that genocide is occurring in Sudan's ongoing civil war, accusing the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group and its allies of systematic atrocities. President Biden has ordered sanctions against the RSF leader and affiliated businesses in the United Arab Emirates.

The Biden administration declared Tuesday that a Sudanese paramilitary group and its allies are committing genocide in a civil war with the country's military, which has killed tens of thousands of people. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that the conflict, which began nearly two years ago and is considered the world's biggest current humanitarian catastrophe, had escalated beyond a war crimes and ethnic cleansing determination he made in December 2023.

Blinken said that based on more recent reporting, he found that the Rapid Support Forces group is committing genocide. Blinken accused the RSF and RSF-aligned militias of systematically murdering men and boys, even infants, on an ethnic basis, and deliberately targeting women and girls from certain ethnic groups for rape and other forms of brutal sexual violence. He also said they targeted fleeing civilians, murdered innocent people escaping conflict, and prevented remaining civilians from accessing lifesaving supplies. The genocide determination has no legal implication by itself, but it was accompanied by a Treasury Department announcement that RSF leader Mohammad Hamdan Daglo Mousa, also known as Hemedti, had been targeted for sanctions as well as seven RSF-owned companies in the United Arab Emirates, including one handling gold likely smuggled out of Sudan. The United Arab Emirates, a federation of seven sheikhdoms on the Arabian Peninsula and a U.S. ally, has been repeatedly accused of arming the RSF, something it has strenuously denied despite evidence to the contrary. The RSF and Sudan’s military began fighting each other in April 2023
