OFAC imposes Sudan-related sanctions

OFAC imposed blocking sanctions on five individuals (one in India, three in Panama, and one in Sudan) and three entities (two in Sudan and one in India) under its Sudan sanctions program for supplying weapons, explosives, and recruiting foreign fighters to both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. The designations target leadership and operators of procurement networks sourcing explosives and military equipment from foreign suppliers, including an Indian explosives manufacturer providing over 200 shipments of explosives used in bombs deployed by Sudanese forces, as well as members of a Colombian-led recruitment network operating through Panama-based companies that have recruited former Colombian military personnel to fight for the RSF, an armed group designated for committing genocide.
