OFAC Sanctions Former Sudanese Officials

The Office of Foreign Assets Control this week sanctioned three former Sudanese officials who are undermining the peace, security and stability of Sudan. The designations target Taha Osman Ahmed al-Hussei, a former state minister, Salah Abdallah Mohamed Salah, a former “high-ranking” government official, and Mohamed Etta Elmoula Abbas, a former Sudanese Ambassador and leader of Sudan’s National Intelligence and Security Service. All three worked under the government led by former President Omar al-Bashir, who was ousted in a coup in 2019, and have tried to help return the al-Bashir regime to power.
