The United Nations Security Council has imposed a new round of targeted sanctions on individuals accused of sustaining the conflict in Sudan, in a move aimed at disrupting operational and logistical networks linked to the Rapid Support Forces.
The measures were adopted on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, following a proposal by the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, and include a global asset freeze and travel bans on designated individuals, with all UN member states required to enforce the restrictions.
At the center of the sanctions is Algoney Hamdan Daglo Musa, identified as a key figure in the RSF’s international weapons procurement network and the younger brother of RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as “Hemedti.”
According to UN findings, Algoney Daglo played a critical role in sourcing and channeling military equipment used in RSF operations, activities believed to have directly contributed to some of the most serious abuses, including the siege of El Fasher in North Darfur, where reports of ethnic cleansing and mass civilian casualties have emerged.
The sanctions also link Daglo to several front companies, including Tradive General Trading Co and GSK Advance Company Ltd, allegedly used to facilitate the covert transfer of arms and logistical support to RSF units.
In an expansion of accountability, the Security Council also sanctioned three Colombian nationals accused of recruiting and coordinating foreign fighters in Sudan: Alvaro Andres Quijano Becerra, Claudia Viviana Oliveros Forero, and Mateo Andres Duque Botero.
UN investigations indicate that these individuals provided tactical and technical support to RSF forces across multiple regions, including Khartoum, Omdurman, Kordofan, and Darfur, with roles that included drone operations, artillery and infantry training, and the training of child soldiers, a serious violation of international humanitarian law.
Reports estimate that hundreds of former Colombian military personnel have been recruited into the conflict, significantly strengthening the RSF’s operational capabilities.
The sanctions come amid rising international concern following earlier measures imposed in February 2026 that targeted senior RSF figures, including Abdul Rahim Hamdan Dagalo, over alleged abuses in Darfur.
They also coincide with UN warnings over what has been described as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with more than 18,800 people killed and around 10 million displaced since the conflict began in April 2023.
A recent UN Panel of Experts report has highlighted a regional dimension to the conflict, pointing to a “Libyan connection,” involving the Subul al-Salam Battalion linked to eastern Libyan forces, accused of facilitating the movement of fighters and weapons into Sudan through Kufra.
In a statement, the United Kingdom’s mission to the UN said the sanctions are intended to “tighten the net” around individuals and networks benefiting from the war by targeting the financial and logistical channels sustaining the conflict.
Observers say that while sanctions alone may not end the war, they represent a coordinated effort to increase pressure on key actors and limit the flow of external support.
As the conflict enters its fourth year, humanitarian agencies warn that without decisive international intervention and effective enforcement, conditions on the ground are likely to worsen.
