This EU Council Implementing Decision adds four Sudanese individuals affiliated with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to the existing Sudan sanctions list under Decision 2014/450/CFSP. The individuals — Gedo Hamdan Ahmed (Abu Nashuk), Abdul Rahim Hamdan Dagalo, Abdullah Idris Al-Fateh (Abu Lulu), and Tijani Ibrahim Moussa Mohamed (Al Zeir Salem) — are sanctioned for their direct involvement in atrocities committed in El Fasher, North Darfur on 26 October 2025. These include mass killings of civilians at El Fasher University and Saudi hospital, ethnically targeted executions of Zaghawa and non-Arab groups, widespread sexual violence including gang rapes, hostage-taking of medical staff for ransoms exceeding $150,000, and the displacement of 70,000 people. The sanctions implement the UNSC listing of 24 February 2026 and impose travel bans and asset freezes.
