Reports indicate mass killings, ethnically targeted torture, and widespread sexual violence followed the city\u2019s fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Hurley, Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, singled out targeted raid on civilians including infants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cThe RSF has repeatedly targeted civilians\u2014including infants and young children. Its brutality has deepened the conflict and destabilized the region, creating conditions for terrorist groups to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the sanctioned individuals are Alvaro Andres Quijano Becerra, a dual Colombian-Italian national and recruiter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US also sanctioned Claudia Viviana Oliveros Forero, owner and manager of recruitment agency A4SI and Mateo Andres Duque Botero, Colombian-Spanish national overseeing financial operations supporting the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Targeted companies include Global Staffing S.A., Maine Global Corp S.A.S., and Comercializadora San Bendito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sanctions were imposed under Executive Order 14098, blocking all property and interests within US jurisdiction and prohibiting US persons from conducting transactions with them. Violations may lead to civil or criminal penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US reaffirmed its commitment to restoring peace in Sudan in line with the September 12, 2025 Joint Statement, calling for a three-month humanitarian truce, a permanent ceasefire, and a civilian-led transition. Washington also urged external actors to stop providing military and financial support to the RSF and other belligerents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US Customs and Border Protection\u2019s National Targeting Center conducted OFAC\u2019s investigation reflecting coordinated efforts to disrupt networks perpetuating the Sudanese conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US sanctions eight individuals and entities recruiting Colombian fighters for Sudan\u2019s RSF, aiming to curb civilian attacks and restore peace in the conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14289,"featured_media":786991,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,26],"tags":[31621,5531,31619,1981,31624,31625,31610,31623,5258,31620,29027,31622,31609,26671,2093,31626,31618],"coauthors":[2146],"class_list":["post-786987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-africa","category-top-stories","tag-colombian-mercenaries","tag-el-fasher","tag-el-fasher-attacks","tag-featured","tag-humanitarian-crisis-sudan","tag-international-peace-efforts","tag-john-k-hurley","tag-ofac-sanctions","tag-rsf","tag-rsf-fighters","tag-sudan-civil-war","tag-sudan-conflict-news","tag-tommy-pigott","tag-u-s-department-of-the-treasurys-office-of-foreign-assets-control-ofac","tag-us","tag-us-department-of-state","tag-us-sanctions-sudan"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v25.7) -
