The deputy leader of Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) said on Thursday that U.S. sanctions imposed on him over human rights abuses were unfair and declared that the RSF has seized enough army weapons to last 20 years. The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, announced the sanctions on Abdelrahim Dagalo – who is also brother of the RSF commander – during a trip to Adre on Chad’s border with Sudan to meet with refugees fleeing ethnic and sexual violence.
