| From today's Guardian "UK places sanctions on four RSF commanders for ‘heinous’ violence against Sudan civilians". 'Men are suspected of ‘mass killings, sexual violence and deliberate attacks in El Fasher’, says Foreign Office'. The UK has placed sanctions on four senior commanders of Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces suspected of involvement in “heinous” violence against civilians in the city of El Fasher, but decided not to take any action against their key military and diplomatic backer, the United Arab Emirates, or their chief commander. British officials suggested they preferred to use their leverage with the UAE and the RSF commander, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, privately, but admitted there was little sign of a ceasefire in Sudan’s near three-year civil war. Those targeted include Abdul Rahim Hamdan Dagalo, the RSF’s deputy leader and brother of Hemedti, as well as three other commanders, all of whom now face asset freezes and travel bans. Officials indicated the threshold of evidence needed to place sanctions had been met partly because some of the commanders posted videos glorifying the killings on social media. The war between the army and the RSF, which erupted in April 2023, has caused what the UN has described as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Communities in the Darfur region are facing famine and malnutrition after an 18-month RSF siege around El Fasher, before it fell to the group on 26 October'. Who would have thought Arabs would have carried out such atrocities. Is not Israel the most evil country on the planet ? I am sure there there will be highly visible protests against the RSF at Saturday's pro-Palestine march - NOT ! Asset freezes and travel bans ? Soon be appealing to the ECHR ! 😉 |
