Truth and Knowledge Center Welcomes UN Security Council Sanctions Designations Concerning Sudan

The Truth and Knowledge Center welcomes the decision adopted on 24 February 2026 by the Sanctions Committee established pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1591 concerning Sudan, under the authority of the United Nations Security Council and acting under Chapter VII of the UN Charter.

The Committee approved the listing of four individuals affiliated with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), namely:

Abdul Rahim Hamdan Dagalo, Deputy Leader of the RSF;

Gedo Hamdan Ahmed (Abu Nashuk), Commander of the North Darfur sector of the RSF;

Al-Fateh Abdullah Idris (Abu Lulu), Brigadier General of the RSF;

Tijani Ibrahim Moussa Mohamed (Al Zeir Salem), Field Commander of the RSF.

The Center considers this action a significant step toward international accountability and a clear acknowledgment by the international community of the grave violations committed in Darfur and other parts of Sudan, which may amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The enforcement of targeted sanctions, including asset freezes and travel bans, represents an essential legal mechanism to combat impunity and deter further violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law.

The Truth and Knowledge Center calls upon:

All Member States to strictly implement the Security Council’s measures;

The expansion of international investigations into serious crimes committed in Sudan.

Full cooperation with the International Criminal Court;

Immediate protection of civilians and unimpeded humanitarian access.

The Center reaffirms its commitment to documenting grave violations in Sudan and advocating for justice, accountability, and the protection of civilians.
