United Nations, United States: The UN Security Council has added two Sudanese paramilitary officers to the list of individuals sanctioned because of their actions in the fighting there, the council's British presidency announced.
It singled out Abdul Rahman Juma, a major general with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and its west Sudan commander; and Major General Osman Mohamed Hamid Mohamed, who heads RSF operations.
The two were being sanctioned "following ethnically motivated attacks and atrocities in Sudan," the British mission at the UN said on X.
A special Security Council committee with representatives of all 15 member countries makes decisions on such sanctions matters.
The conflict in Sudan pits the regular army, under Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, against the RSF, led by his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo.
