The United States is set to impose financial sanctions on Sudanese leader and army chief General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, according to Reuters, citing three sources with direct knowledge of the matter. The anticipated sanctions are in response to the Sudanese military's violations against civilians, targeting of infrastructure, blocking of humanitarian aid, and refusal to participate in peace talks. General Al-Burhan has preemptively responded to the sanctions, stating that he and the military are prepared to face them, welcoming the measures as a means to serve the country.
