US Labels Sudan's Rapid Support Forces as Committing Genocide Amid Ongoing Civil War

The Biden administration has declared that members of Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have committed genocide amid the ongoing civil war. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced sanctions against RSF leader Mohammad Hamdan Daglo Mousa and several linked companies for systematic attacks on civilians, including ethnic killings and sexual violence. The U.S. emphasizes accountability for all parties, stating the conflict has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and severe humanitarian crises, with over 30 million needing assistance. The RSF continues to face allegations of ethnic cleansing and war crimes, particularly in Darfur.
