The United States has sanctioned three senior commanders of Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for their alleged involvement in genocide, ethnic killings, torture, and sexual violence in El Fasher. A fourth commander also faces restrictions for gross human rights violations in the ongoing conflict.

• These sanctions build on previous measures, including those on December 9, targeting a transnational recruitment network that supplied Colombian fighters to the RSF.
• Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs Massad Boulos stated the US will not tolerate such atrocities.
• The RSF reportedly captured El Fasher on October 26, 2025, leading to accusations of mass killings and ethnically targeted torture.
