The United States government will impose sanctions on Sudan after determining that it used chemical weapons to fight against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Since 2023, the Sudanese army has been battling the RSF, a paramilitary group which recently placed President William Ruto's administration on the receiving end over controversial dealings in Nairobi.
The US State Department announced on Thursday, May 22, that it would ban imports from Sudan should the country be found guilty of using chemical weapons against the rebel group.
President Donald Trump's administration will also restrict Sudanese citizens from travelling to America and further halt all foreign assistance to the East African nation.
