A United Nations Security Council committee is considering sanctioning two generals with Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for threatening the country's peace, security, or stability, including through violence and human rights abuses.
If the men are designated, it would be the first UN sanctions imposed over the current war in Sudan, which erupted in mid-April last year from a power struggle between the Sudanese army (Saf) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces ahead of a planned transition to civilian rule.
