Sanctioning Sudanese Armed Group Leader and Islamist Militia
[]
Voice of America
The Department of the Treasury is sanctioning two Sudanese Islamist actors – Gebreil Ibrahim Mohamed Fediel and the Al-Baraa Bin Malik Brigade, or BBMB, for their involvement in Sudan’s brutal civil war and their connections to Iran.
Gebreil is Sudan’s Finance Minister and chairman of the Justice and Equality Movement, a Darfuri armed group with historical links to Hassan al Turabi, the architect of Sudan’s Islamist revolution.
This conduct contributed to the outbreak of fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces in April 2023.
“Sudanese Islamist groups have formed dangerous alliances with the Iranian regime.
The U.S. government will use its tools to ensure that Sudanese Islamists never regain power in Sudan.
