UN Sanctions Sudanese Militant Group Officials

The U.N. Security Council on Nov. 8 sanctioned two people connected to the Rapid Support Forces, a militant group in Sudan that has been accused of human rights violations. The designations target Abdel Rahman Juma Barkalla, a major general and West Darfur commander of the RSF, and Osman Mohamed Hamid Mohamed, also a senior official with the RSF. The U.S. sanctioned Barkalla this week and included several alternate spellings for his name (see 2411120006)
