Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that the RSF has continued to perpetrate heinous acts including the systematic murder of men and boys, even infants, based on their ethnic identity.
They have also deliberately targeted women and girls from specific ethnic groups for rape and other brutal forms of sexual violence, highlighting the severe humanitarian implications of the ongoing conflict.
Blinken indicated that the RSF and shared militias have aggressively pursued fleeing civilians, murdering innocent individuals who are attempting to escape the violence.
The genocide determination, though it carries no legal implications, was accompanied by sanctions against RSF leader Hemedti and several affiliated companies, revealing a diplomatic push for accountability.
