OFAC Sanctions Weapons Procurement Director for Sudan Militant Group

The Office of Foreign Assets Control this week sanctioned Algoney Hamdan Daglo Musa, the procurement director of the Rapid Support Forces, a Sudanese militant group warring with the Sudanese Armed Forces. OFAC said he leads RSF efforts to procure weapons and other military items, prolonging a war that has killed thousands of people, displaced millions and has led to “emergency levels of hunger” within Sudan. “The United States will continue to hold accountable those who seek to prolong this conflict and restrict access to vital humanitarian assistance at a time of famine and fragility,” said Brad Smith, the Treasury Department’s acting undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.
