🇺🇸🇸🇩🇦🇪⚡- 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.

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. Pavel Durov, a billionaire who embraces an all-black wardrobe and is often compared to the character Neo from "the Matrix," funds Telegram through his personal wealth and debt financing. And despite being one of the world's most popular tech companies, Telegram reportedly has only about 30 employees who defer to Durov for most major decisions about the platform. But Telegram says people want to keep their chat history when they get a new phone, and they like having a data backup that will sync their chats across multiple devices. And that is why they let people choose whether they want their messages to be encrypted or not. When not turned on, though, chats are stored on Telegram's services, which are scattered throughout the world. But it has "disclosed 0 bytes of user data to third parties, including governments," Telegram states on its website. "The result is on this photo: fiery 'greetings' to the invaders," the Security Service of Ukraine wrote alongside a photo showing several military vehicles among plumes of black smoke. Asked about its stance on disinformation, Telegram spokesperson Remi Vaughn told AFP: "As noted by our CEO, the sheer volume of information being shared on channels makes it extremely difficult to verify, so it's important that users double-check what they read."
