The United States wants to impose a new sanctions on the real leader of Sudan, General Abdel-Fatah Burhan, who is the head of Sudani Armed Forces, or SAF.
according to a statement The SAF, released by the US State Department on Thursday, is accused of using chemical weapons against its rival, Rapid Support Force or RSF in 2024.
In January, American newspaper new York Times Informed The Sudan’s army targeted RSF fighters twice with chlorine gas, which has been banned under international law.
However, neither articles nor American statements in which the alleged chemical weapons were, including details about where, or how.
The restrictions, which are scheduled to begin on June 6, include the ban on US exports to Sudan and blocking the US government of credit.
As Trade representative of the United StatesSudan had US exports at $ 56.6 million (€ 59.8m) in 2024, slightly above 2023.
Official data by US foreign aid bureau In 2024, states were allocated as human aid, with major shares, $ 750 million in $ 790 million.
However, under Donald Trump, the US administration already cut foreign aid spending in Sudan earlier this year, limiting the impact of new restrictions.
In turn, as a new set of sanctions, mainly the economy and the humanitarian region targets, it will have less impact on the army, but prefers to reduce the difficulty of citizens. Since the war began in April 2023 after a power struggle between the two generals, the Sudani population has been immersed in the world’s worst human and displacement crises.
According to United Nations data, more than 13 million people have been displaced and large parts of the population are on the verge of famine.
And so warned that Sudani women and girls displace the most and therefore suffer the brunt of sexual violence and comprehensive rape.
Between the ongoing battle, it is impossible to pin the toll of accurate death, but estimates suggest that around 150,000 people have died.
Is there a possibility of new restrictions on Sudan?
This is not the first time that the warning parties of Sudan have hit bees with sanctions. But, in recent times, they have failed to catch or old the trajectory of the war.
In January, the outgoing US administration under the President Joe Biden imposed restrictions on warning generals.
First, the paramilitary RSF, led by General Mohammad Dagalo, is known as Hemedti, which was approved by Effer Bengal for massacre and severe human rights violations.
A week later in January, the Biden administration imposed a ban on SAF under General Abdel-Fatah Burhan, who was accused of discovering war crimes as fatal attacks on citizens and reducing the goal of a democratic infection.
“Height was also focused on height on genocide campaigns by rapid support forces,” a razor of the German think tank Giga Institute for Global and Area Studies said, not a concrete effect on the severity of attacks against citizens. “
Against this background, Ali expressed doubts that the newly imposed economic sanctions would be likely to slow down the struggle.
“We have to believe that both groups have already been approved,” he said.
Return to a transitional government?
Meanwhile, the country is still in danger of dividing into two.
In March, the paramilitary RSF signed a charter in Darfur to establish “Shanti and Ekta’s Sarkar” and in parts of the south in collaboration with colleagues.
At the same time, SAF announced ‘Roadmap for PECE’ for areas under its control in the Center, North and East.
So in March, the Sudani army removed the country’s capital Khartum.
However, only two months later, SAF spokesperson Nail Abdullah said that “Khartum state is completely free from rebels.”
SAF General Burhan announced this day after 71-year-old and diplomat Kamil al-Tabi Idris as the new Sudani Prime Minister. Idris has now been tasked to form the transitional government of the country.
Sudani policy analyst Hamid Khalafallah said, “Since the so -called liberation of Khartum two months ago, SAF was thinking about how to control control and control over the middle Sudan.”
“SAF wants the international community to face this technical chaos to achieve some credibility and validity before the international community,” he said. “The new PM will not be anything, but a SAF puppet.”
Meanwhile, the Arab League – a group of 22 countries – and the African Union – a continental body in the 55 Memembar states – welcomed the appointment “Important steps towards restoring the work of national civic institutions” and “a step towards a step.”
Sudani political analyst Mohammad Abdelaziz, however, takes a low festive stand on Sudan’s appointment of Prime Minister. “We should not forget that both sides were about to disrupt democratic citizen infection in Sudan,” he said.
