The U.S. Department of the Treasury posted on 15 May 2024 a press release titled "Treasury Sanctions Sudanese Rapid Support Forces Commanders Expanding War."
The U.S. Department of Treasury announced sanctions on two senior commanders with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces for expanding the Sudan civil war in North Darfur, further endangering many Sudanese civilians.
The Middle East Institute published on 5 June 2023 a short analysis by me titled "US Adopts Additional Sanctions on Sudan."
I conclude that the most recent American sanctions on Sudan are not likely to have any significant impact. While the sanctions signal Washington's unhappiness with the activities of the Sudan Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, they face major practical limitations.
