The United Kingdom sanctioned 15 senior commanders from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) over suspected atrocities, including conflict-related sexual violence, and allocated £5 million to support survivors of that violence in Sudan.

The measures include travel bans and asset freezes, with the stated aim of ensuring that “the horrors that took place at El Fasher will be known to the world”, according to the British Foreign Office.
