The United States has imposed sanctions on Sudan
People with ties to the Sudanese military and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) as well as the previous leaders of the government of Omar al-Bashir were put on the list of people with sanctions.
After not taking the talks between the two armed forces in Sudan seriously, the US put the first sanctions against two groups in Sudan that are at odds with each other.
This is also happening less than a month after President Joe Biden signed a law that says people who threaten "peace and security" in Sudan will be punished.
In a statement, the provider said, "Today, we are keeping an eye on the economic sanctions and banning visas for those involved in the uprising in Sudan. We are also making new business recommendations for the country." Jake Sullivan, the US National Security Adviser, was let go.
"The people of Sudan did not ask for this war," he said. The U.S. will always be there for them. We will continue to back their desire for a democratic system to take over.
People with ties to the Sudanese military, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), and past leaders who worked for Omar al-Bashir's government for a long time are affected by the sanctions.
Also, the US Department of the Treasury has put restrictions on four companies in Sudan that are thought to be helping the army and RSF.
Defense Industries System (DIS), which is Sudan's biggest defense company and makes an estimated $2 billion a year, is one of the companies. Another is Sudan Master Technology, an arms company that has shares in other DIS branches.
On Monday, a deal to stop fighting that Saudi Arabia and the US helped to make between the two sides ran out.
The two generals who were at war decided to keep the agreement in place for five more days, but they couldn't do this because they ended the peace talks on Wednesday.
The army said that the RSF had not followed "all the terms of the cease-fire agreement."
