Biden Paves Way for US Sanctions on Perpetrators of Violence in Sudan

President Joe Biden signed an executive order allowing the US to sanction individuals responsible for the violence and human rights abuses in Sudan that have left hundreds dead.
The conflict in Sudan has resulted in at least 550 deaths and nearly 5,000 injuries, triggering a humanitarian crisis according to the UN.
Though the US has not imposed any sanctions yet, Biden's order targets those destabilizing Sudan and harming civilians.
The violence continues in Sudan despite multiple ceasefire attempts, and the US has helped evacuate over 1,300 Americans from the country since mid-April.
The sanctions do not reinstate the previous, broader US sanctions on Sudan but only apply to the current crisis.
