The Washington Post editorial board published on 28 April 2025 a commentary titled "This Time, the U.S. Should Act to Stop a Genocide."
Earlier this month, the State Department characterized the atrocities being committed in Sudan's western Darfur region as a genocide. Now that the Trump administration has recognized a genocide is occurring in Sudan, it could halt arms sales to the UAE, and impose sanctions, until the country ends its military and financial support for the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, the primary perpetrators of the genocide.
