Khaberni - European sanctions have been imposed on Al-Fateh Abdullah Idris, known as "Abu Lulu," for committing serious crimes in Sudan.
The new European sanctions also targeted Al-Goni Hamdan Daglo Musa, brother of Mohamed Hamdan Daglo (Hamidti), the commander of the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan.
Furthermore, the European sanctions affected 5 members of the Rapid Support Forces.
European sanctions were also imposed on two leaders of the pro-army popular resistance as part of international efforts to hold those involved in serious violations in Sudan accountable.
In October 2024, the U.S. Treasury imposed sanctions on Al-Goni Hamdan Daglo "for his involvement in purchasing arms and other military equipment that enabled the Rapid Support Forces to carry out their ongoing operations in Sudan, including their attack on al-Fasher," according to a statement from the department.
As for "Abu Lulu," in October 2025, the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan announced his arrest in the city of al-Fasher in North Darfur state, after he was accused of committing serious violations against civilians during the battles that took place in the city.
The name "Abu Lulu" became widely known during the Rapid Support Forces' control of al-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, west Sudan, and the army's withdrawal from the city, as the fighter himself posted videos alongside Rapid Support Forces elements interrogating bound prisoners.
He also appeared in one of the clips shooting at civilians in al-Fasher as well.
It is noteworthy that following the Rapid Support Forces' control of al-Fasher, the last main stronghold of the Sudanese army in Darfur, the United Nations reported massacres, rape, looting, and mass displacement of the population.
Many testimonials, supported by videos posted by the Rapid Support Forces on social media, described "atrocities in the city, which was completely cut off from communications," according to what Agence France-Presse reported.
For its part, the Sudanese government accused the Rapid Support Forces of killing two thousand civilians.
While the Rapid Support Forces denied the occurrence of war crimes, they acknowledged some violations, confirming an investigation was opened to hold those involved accountable.
The conflict that erupted in Sudan in mid-April 2023 resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people, and caused the displacement of about 12 million people, leading to the world’s largest crises of displacement and hunger, according to the United Nations.
