U.S. Accuses Sudanese Militias of Genocide Amid Humanitarian Crisis
The United States has accused members of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan of committing genocide, imposing sanctions on RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo. The ongoing conflict, which began in April 2023, has led to a severe humanitarian crisis, with over 30 million people needing assistance. Secretary of State Antony Blinken highlighted systematic violence against civilians, including sexual violence and ethnic-based killings, as millions are displaced within the country as a result of the conflict.
