No. of Paragraph 10

“Key individuals on both sides, including Algoney Hamdan Daglo Musa, continue to procure weapons to facilitate attacks and other atrocities against their own citizens,” said Acting Under Secretary Smith.

The United States has sanctioned a senior leader of the Rapid Support Forces, Algoney Hamdan Daglo Musa, for his involvement in efforts to procure weapons and other military materiel that have enabled the Rapid Support Force’s ongoing operations in Sudan. This includes the assault on El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur.

Algoney’s actions have fueled the war and brutal Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, atrocities against civilians, which have included war crimes, crimes against humanity, and ethnic cleansing. Rather than heed warnings from the United States and other partners, the RSF and its allied militia have continued to commit atrocities, including those involving sexual violence and ethnically targeted attacks on non-Arab groups.

Algoney is the RSF’s procurement director and one of the younger brothers of Mohammed Hamdan Daglo, or Hemedti, the head of the RSF. He is close to Hemedti, having also previously worked as his personal secretary. Algoney has controlled RSF front companies, including the Office of Foreign Asset Contorl-sanctioned Tradive General Trading, which imported vehicles to Sudan on behalf of the RSF.
