The European Union has imposed sanctions on a top leader of Sudan's paramilitary group over "grave and ongoing atrocities" by his forces in the more than two-year war with the national army, including in the western Darfur region where they captured the military's final stronghold last month.
The measures announced against Abdel-Rahim Hamdan Dagalo follow similar sanctions the EU and the US have imposed on the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the paramilitary group locked in a power struggle with the Sudanese army.
