US Imposes Sanctions on Sudanese Entities Fueling Conflict and Obstructing Peace Efforts

The United States has taken decisive action by designating three Sudanese entities involved in financing and securing resources for the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Zadna International Co for Development Ltd, a crucial part of SAF's commercial operations, has been identified as facilitating fund laundering for the SAF. Al-Fakher Advanced Works Co. Ltd. serves as a holding company for the RSF's gold exports, contributing substantial funds to the RSF's war efforts. Additionally, Al Khaleej Bank Company, Ltd has played a pivotal role in financing RSF's operations.

These entities have been detrimental to Sudan's peace, security, and stability, despite their obligations to protect civilians and implement a ceasefire. The United States is committed to using available tools to put an end to the ongoing conflict, ensure accountability, and support the Sudanese people in their pursuit of freedom, peace, and justice. These actions are taken in accordance with Executive Order 14098, which targets individuals and entities destabilizing Sudan and hindering the country's democratic transition.
