The United States has officially declared that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan committed genocide, citing numerous massacres and widespread rape.
Secretary of State Blinken specifically condemned the RSF's targeted ethnic violence, particularly the horrific treatment of women and children in Darfur.
As a result of this determination, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on the RSF leader and several associated entities.
This action highlights the severity of the ongoing Sudanese civil war and the urgent need for international intervention to stop the violence.
