Reinforcing UN Sanctions on RSF Commanders for Perpetuating Sudan’s Civil War
Press Statement
November 12, 2024
Following the United Nations Security Council’s designation of two Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commanders on November 8, the Treasury Department is today sanctioning Abdel Rahman Joma’a Barakallah (Barakallah), the RSF West Darfur Commander. 
The UN has designated both Barakallah and Osman Mohamed Hamid Mohamed (Hamid) for their roles in leading the RSF as it carried out ethnic cleansing and committed human rights violations.  Barakallah is also subject to U.S. visa restrictions for his involvement in gross violations of human rights, namely the kidnapping and killing of the lawful governor of West Darfur, Khamis Abbakar.  The Treasury Department has already designated Hamid in May 2024.  The United States welcomes the UN Security Council’s action on November 8, which demonstrates its readiness to hold to account those responsible for abuses against civilians in Darfur.
Today’s action is part of the United States’ persistent effort to support the Sudanese people and use the tools at our disposal to impose costs on those committing atrocities and perpetuating the conflict.
