The United States is imposing sanctions on four companies that Washington officials said are generating revenue from the conflict in Sudan, according to the Treasury Department.
In addition to the sanctions, the White House said Thursday that it would also impose visa restrictions “against actors who are perpetuating the violence” in Sudan, where fighting between the Sudanese armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary broke out in April.
“These measures are intended to hold accountable those responsible for undermining the peace, security, and stability of Sudan,” national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement.that U.S. officials said are generating revenue from the conflict in Sudan: Al Junaid Multi Activities and Tradive General Trading, which are associated with the RSF; and Defense Industries System and Sudan Master Technology, which are associated with the Sudanese armed forces.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced and hundreds of civilians killed since the violence began April 15 — when a rivalry between Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the military chief and de facto head of state, and Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, who heads the RSF paramilitary, exploded into open conflict., fighting has continued in Sudan, hindering the delivery of humanitarian assistance and hurting the civilians who need aid the most, Sullivan said.
