In mid-April, the United States imposed sanctions on former Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali

Karti, along with two companies, one of which is based in Russia, accused them of exacerbating instability in Sudan, where fighting has claimed

Thousands have been killed and millions of civilians have been displaced.

Undersecretary of the Treasury for terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian Nelson, said in a statement: "the action taken puts

The responsibility is on those who have weakened the efforts to find a peaceful and democratic solution in Sudan,"he said.

"We will continue to target those who are working to continue this conflict for personal gain,"he added.

The Ministry of Treasury said that it targeted Karti, the foreign minister under former President Omar al-Bashir, knowing that Karti became

The leader of the Sudanese Islamic Movement after the overthrow of Bashir in 2019.

Karti is a prominent figure among the veterans and loyalists of Bashir's rule, who regained some influence in the wake of the army's disengagement

The Sudanese government and the overthrow of the civilian component in 2021.

The Treasury Department added: "(Karti) and other hard-line Sudanese are actively obstructing efforts to reach a stop

To open fire in order to end the current war".

Sanctions were also imposed on" GSK advance", a company based in Sudan, which the Treasury Department said used

A procurement tool for the Rapid Support forces.

The Treasury Department said that this company was coordinating with the Russian-based military supply company "Avia trade", which

It was also targeted by sanctions, for arranging the purchase of spare parts and supplies for drones previously purchased by the support forces

Rapid, as well as training work.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said in a separate statement that Washington had taken steps this week to impose restrictions

Granting visas to people who are believed to be part of efforts to undermine the democratic transition in Sudan.

The new sanctions come after the measures taken against the deputy commander of the Rapid Support forces this month, and the sanctions that

The United States imposed them in June on companies that it accused of fueling the conflict.

This measure freezes any assets of the targets in the United States, prevents Americans in general from doing business with them, and risks

Those who engage in certain transactions with them are also subject to penalties.
