[SUDANTRIBUNE] The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has imposed sanctions on three former Sudan
 ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
ese regime officials for their role in undermining Sudan’s peace, security, and stability.
The designated individuals are Taha Osman Ahmed al-Hussein (Taha), a former State Minister and Presidential Office Director to former Sudanese President Omer al-Bashir, Salah Abdallah Mohammed Salah (Salah Gosh), and Mohammed Etta Elmoula Abbas (Elmoula). Gosh and Elmoula served as directors of the National Intelligence and Security Services under the al-Bashir regime.
The sanctions were imposed in response to the individuals’ efforts to destabilize Sudan and derail its transition to democracy. al-Hussein was involved in coordinating with regional actors to support the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group accused of human rights

abuses. Gosh plotted to overthrow the civilian-led transitional government, while Elmoula worked to restore the al-Bashir regime to power.
"These sanctions are a direct response to the efforts of these individuals to undermine Sudan’s peace and stability," said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian E. Nelson. "The United States will continue to hold accountable those who seek to impede Sudan’s progress toward a democratic future."
For his part, the State Department spokesperson underscored that this action advances U.S. efforts to undermine those fueling the conflict and obstructing the Sudanese people’s aspirations for peace and civilian, democratic rule.
"The United States will continue to use the tools at our disposal to disrupt the ability of the RSF and Sudanese Armed Forces to further prolong this war and to hold accountable those responsible for deepening the conflict or obstructing a return to civilian government."
As a result of the sanctions, all assets and properties of the designated individuals in the United States or under U.S. control are frozen. U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in transactions with the designated individuals or their affiliates.
