Summary
The United States has imposed sanctions on Algoney Hamdan Daglo Musa, a senior leader of Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), for his role in supplying weapons that have fueled a brutal war in Sudan. This conflict, which has lasted 17 months, has resulted in more than 20,000 deaths and widespread destruction across the country.
The U.S. Department of Treasury highlighted that Algoney, who controls Tradive General Trading LLC, a company based in the UAE, has been instrumental in importing vehicles for the RSF and retrofitting them with weaponry. His actions have significantly contributed to the ongoing violence, particularly the RSF’s siege of El Fasher in North Darfur. The sanctions block all of Algoney’s properties and interests within U.S. jurisdiction and target any entities he owns. This move is part of a broader strategy by the U.S. government to address the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, where over 13 million people have been displaced, and to hold accountable those perpetuating violence against civilians. The U.S. has previously implemented visa restrictions on officials from both the Sudanese army and the RSF, indicating a sustained effort to curb the conflict and promote peace in the region.
