The British government announced these sanctions against companies that fund the war in Sudan. This war between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Response Forces (RSF) began last year on April 15. As a result, over 8.6 million people have fled their homes.
The businesses that support the warring parties must be held to account, alongside those responsible for human rights abuses. The world must not forget about Sudan. We urgently need to end the violence,” said Foreign Secretary David Cameron.
