The United States has sanctioned a senior member of Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces for “leading efforts” to supply weapons for the 17-month war that has killed more than 20,000 people and ravaged the northeast African country.
Algoney Hamdan Daglo Musa controls the United Arab Emirates-based Tradive General Trading LLC. This front company imported vehicles into Sudan for the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and equipped them with machine guns, the U.S. Treasury Department said recently. Algoney is the brother of RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
The war between the Sudanese army and the RSF broke out in April 2023 in the capital, Khartoum, and spread throughout the country. The Treasury said Algoney’s actions directly contributed to the ongoing siege of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state, by Sudanese security forces.
The sanctions against Algoney mean that all of his assets and interests in the United States or controlled by U.S. citizens are blocked and must be reported to the Treasury Department. The sanctions also block all entities he owns directly or indirectly.
