The responsibility for this war continues to be on the shoulders of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), as well as their respective affiliated militias. These include Algoney Hamdan Dagalo Musa, a Major in the RSF and brother of the head of the RSF, as well as Brigadier Generals, Commanders and other members of the RSF. Additionally, the restrictive measures apply to supporters of the SAF, including Al-Misbah Abu Zaid Talha, the Commander of the Islamist militia Baraa bin Malik Battalion (BBMB). By imposing targeted restrictive measures, the European Union reinforces accountability for serious violations and signals that impunity for such acts is unacceptable. BackgroundIn October 2023, the Council adopted a dedicated framework of restrictive measures in view of activities undermining the stability and political transition of Sudan.
