  The United States imposed sanctions on Abdel Rahman Juma Barkalla, a commander of Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, citing his involvement in human rights abuses in West Darfur. Reuters says the U.S. Treasury Department reported that Barkalla led RSF operations in the region, marked by credible allegations of severe human rights violations, including civilian targeting, conflict-related sexual violence, and ethnic violence.
