EU amends Sudan regulations by adding RSF procurement director to core sanctions regime

LUXEMBOURG, June 22, 2026 — The European Union has completed a related pair of Sudan sanctions actions by adding Al-Goney Hamdan Dagalo to its main Sudan sanctions regime under Regulation 747/2014 and deleting his name from the separate sanctions framework created under Regulation 2023/2147. The coordinated move follows his April 28, 2026 designation by the U.N. Security Council committee overseeing Sudan sanctions.

In Implementing Regulation 2026/1393, the Council added Dagalo, also identified as Algoney Hamdan and Al-Qoni Hamdan, to Annex I of Regulation 747/2014. The EU identifies him as director of the Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, and cites the U.N. narrative summary saying he threatened the peace, security or stability of Darfur. The text says he led RSF procurement efforts for weapons and military materiel, contributing to the RSF siege of El Fasher and other operations in Sudan, and controlled Tradive General Trading, described as an RSF front company that imported vehicles into Sudan.

In the related Implementing Regulation 2026/1394, the Council deleted the entry for “Algony Hamdan DAGALO MUSA” from Annex I to Regulation 2023/2147. The Council said that after adding three of four U.N.-listed individuals to Regulation 747/2014 in May, and the fourth person on June 22, the duplicate entry should be removed from the 2023 regime.

Taken together, the two measures show the EU consolidating Dagalo’s designation under its long-standing Sudan sanctions program rather than leaving him listed under overlapping legal authorities. Both regulations were adopted in Luxembourg on June 22 and take effect the day after publication in the Official Journal.
