US Declares Sudan's Rapid Support Forces Guilty of Genocide

 The Hill published on 7 January 2025 an article titled "US Determines Sudan Paramilitary Committed Genocide, Sanctions Leader" by Laura Kelly.

In a last-minute policy decision, Secretary of State Antony Blinken declared that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied militias committed genocide in Sudan.  Blinken added this decision neither supports nor favors the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF).  Both the RSF and SAF bear responsibility for the violence and suffering in Sudan.
