United States sanctions Sudan's Rapid Support Forces' leader

The United States on Tuesday night announced sanctions against Sudanese paramilitary leader Mohamed Hamdane Daglo, also known as Hemedti. Washington accuses the head of the Rapid Support Forces, of committing genocide in Sudan. The country's civil war, which erupted in April 2023 between the Sudanese armed forces and the RSF, has thrown Sudan into turmoil, displacing millions and causing a severe famine.
