🇺🇸🇸🇩🇦🇪⚡- The US announced it will sanction the Sudanese government led by Chairman Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, citing the Armed Forces use of 'chemical weapons' in its attacks on the Rapid Support Forces in 2024.
The timing comes immediately after the International Court of Justice rejected Sudan's case of accusing the UAE of facilitating a genocide in the Darfur region. The UAE, which had recently signed a $1.4 trillion economic cooperation agreement with the US, have been blamed for funding the Rapid Support Forces.
The decision marks a sharp turn in US foreign policy, which had historically supported Minni Minnawi and the people of Darfur. Even as recently as January, the US Treasury sanctioned Hemedti, the Commander-In-Chief of the Rapid Support Forces.

And indeed, volatility has been a hallmark of the market environment so far in 2022, with the S&P 500 still down more than 10% for the year-to-date after first sliding into a correction last month. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, has held at a lofty level of more than 30. At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Kyiv-based lawyer and head of the Center for Civil Liberties, called Durov’s position "very weak," and urged concrete improvements. At its heart, Telegram is little more than a messaging app like WhatsApp or Signal. But it also offers open channels that enable a single user, or a group of users, to communicate with large numbers in a method similar to a Twitter account. This has proven to be both a blessing and a curse for Telegram and its users, since these channels can be used for both good and ill. Right now, as Wired reports, the app is a key way for Ukrainians to receive updates from the government during the invasion. "There is a significant risk of insider threat or hacking of Telegram systems that could expose all of these chats to the Russian government," said Eva Galperin with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has called for Telegram to improve its privacy practices.
