Britain Sanctions Sudanese Commanders Over Allegations of Sexual Violence
The UK has imposed travel bans and asset freezes on senior military leaders from both the Rapid Support Forces and Sudanese Armed Forces.
Britain has imposed sanctions on senior military commanders from both the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) due to their suspected involvement in sexual violence. The measures, which include travel bans and asset freezes, target individuals implicated in a "campaign of rape" during the siege of El Fasher.
The sanctions were announced by the British government on the first anniversary of a mass atrocity that saw tens of thousands of civilians killed over several days in El Fasher. The city's fall marked what has been described as the largest and fastest slaughter of civilians in more than three decades.
Commanders from both sides of the ongoing conflict in Sudan are suspected of weaponised sexual violence during the siege of El Fasher. The British government's action aims to hold accountable those believed to be responsible for these grave abuses.
The punitive measures, encompassing both travel restrictions and the freezing of assets, underscore the international community's concern over the severe human rights violations reported in Sudan. The targeted individuals are now subject to these restrictions as a consequence of the allegations.
