The determination came as the United States announced sanctions against the Sudanese military chief, saying there was strong evidence of atrocities in the country.

Sudan's army chief has ordered an investigation into allegations that his troops carried out widespread atrocities after recapturing the capital of Gezira state from their paramilitary rivals. Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan's move comes after widespread concern that civilians - including foreign nationals - were killed after the seizure of Wad Madani.

The worse Sudan’s self-appointed leaders behave, however, the more nobly its people respond. In West Kordofan state, on the country’s southern border, Salah Almogadm had been working at the Ministry of Agriculture. His job disappeared with the war.

As the war increasingly threatens to split Sudan into rival mini-states, it not only offers an insight into the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in the country, but also a glimpse of its possible future.

The U.S. imposed sanctions on the leader of Sudan's military Thursday, saying he was blocking humanitarian aid and bombing hospitals, schools and markets in a war against an armed rival that has created a widening famine and the world's largest displacement crisis.

The Biden administration takes action against Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, accusing Sudan’s leaders of “blatant disregard of civilian lives” amid the civil war.

On September 9, 2004, then-Secretary of State Colin Powell appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to deliver much-anticipated testimony on the crisis in Sudan’s western region of Darfur. Eighteen minutes into his remarks, he became the first executive branch official in U.S. history to declare an ongoing conflict a “genocide.”

Amid what a Catholic charity called "unimaginable" suffering of civilians trapped in civil war brutality in Sudan, the United States declared that one of the fighting factions is committing genocide in the country and slapped sanctions on its leader.
