U.S. imposes sanctions on three Sudanese figures with ties to former leader Omar al-Bashir
Associated PressCAIRO — The United States imposed sanctions Monday on three Sudanese individuals accused of undermining “peace, security and stability” in the conflict-stricken African nation. The sanctions imposed by the Department of the Treasury block all property and entities owned by Taha Osman Ahmed al-Hussein, Salah Abdallah Mohamed Salah and Mohamed Etta al-Moula Abbas that are in the U.S. All three held senior government positions under former autocratic President Omar al-Bashir, who ruled Sudan for 30 years. In September, the U.S. imposed sanctions on Abdel-Rahim Hamdan Dagalo - brother of the RSF leader - for alleged acts of violence and human rights abuses committed by the paramilitary. Meanwhile, in the western Darfur region, which was the site of a genocidal campaign in the early 2000s, the conflict has morphed into ethnic violence, with the RSF and allied Arab militias attacking ethnic African groups, according to rights groups and the U.N. With the country’s fragile public infrastructure in tatters, the threat posed by a deadly disease outbreak is growing.
