WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States imposed sanctions on Thursday against Mirghani Idris Suleiman, a leading figure in the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) efforts to get weapons for the war against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the Treasury Department said in a statement.
As director of Defense Industries Systems (DIS), the Sudanese army's primary weapons procurement arm, "Idris has been at the center of weapons deals that have fueled the brutality and scale of the war," the statement said.
