Britain sanctions 15 Sudanese commanders over sexual violence and attacks on civilians

Sanctioned by the UK

15 Sudanese commanders and officials

The commanders, militia leaders and officials come from both the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces. They face travel bans and asset freezes over war crimes during the fall of El Fasher.

The UK also set aside £5 million for survivors of sexual violence and £10 million in humanitarian aid. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said those responsible "must be held accountable".

Amnesty International says tens of thousands of civilians have been killed and 14 million people displaced since the war began in April 2023.
