Nov. 21 (UPI) -- The European Union has sanctioned the deputy leader of Sudan's Rapid Support Forces as the paramilitary group's bloody civil war against the country's military nears three years old.
The RSF has been waging war against the Sudanese Armed Forces since April 15, 2023. Both sides have been accused of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, though the RSF has also been accused of committing ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Abdelrahim Hamdan Dagalo is the second in command of the RSF, which his brother, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, leads.
Kaja Kallas, the EU's top diplomat, announced the sanctions against Abdelrahim Hamdan Dagalo in a statement, condemning atrocities committed by the RSF in Sudan, but in particular following its seizure of the North Darfur city of El Fasher.
