The US Treasury Department announced today sanctions on Osman Mohammed Hamed Mohammed, also known as "Osman Operations," and Ali Yaqoub Jabril, military leaders in the Rapid Support Forces, under Executive Order 14098.
Brian E. Nelson, the Treasury Deputy Assistant Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, said, "As the Sudanese people continue to demand an end to this conflict, these leaders have focused on expanding into new fronts and fighting to control more territory."
He added, "The United States will continue to use sanctions to support the peace process and work against those who exacerbate conflict on both sides."
Osman Operations was classified, under Executive Order 14098, as a commander, executive officer, or board member of the Rapid Support Forces, which engaged or had its members engage in acts or policies that threaten peace, security, or stability in Sudan during the tenure of this commander, officer, or senior executive.
Jabril was included, under Executive Order 14098, as a foreign person who was or became a commander or senior executive officer in the Rapid Support Forces, an entity whose members have been involved in acts or policies that threaten peace, security, or stability in Sudan during the tenure of this commander, officer, senior executive, or board member.
As a result of todays action, all property and interests in property of the above-listed individuals, located in the United States or in the possession or control of US persons, must be blocked and reported to the Office of Foreign Assets Control. Additionally, any entities owned, directly or indirectly, individually or collectively, 50 percent or more by one or more blocked persons are also subject to the prohibition unless licensed or exempted by OFAC regulations. Generally, OFAC regulations prohibit all transactions by US persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of designated or blocked persons.
Furthermore, financial institutions and other persons engaging in certain transactions or activities with the sanctioned entities and individuals may expose themselves to sanctions or enforcement actions.
