Change
The U.K. government sanctioned six senior figures linked to Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces and Sudanese Armed Forces for alleged atrocities and for supporting the war through mercenaries and military equipment supply.
Why it matters
The U.K. announced the measures on Thursday, February 5, 2026, saying the targets include senior commanders from both the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces; Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said the sanctions aim to disrupt those perpetrating or profiting from violence and reiterated calls for a ceasefire and humanitarian access.
