  • March 9, 2026: Sudan and Counter-Terrorism Designations: The State Department Fact Sheet

    Designation of the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood

    FACT SHEET

    OFFICE OF THE SPOKESPERSON

    MARCH 9, 2026

    Today, the Department of State announces the designation of the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist and the intent to designate the group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

    • The Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood (SMB), composed of the Sudanese Islamic Movement and its armed wing – the al-Baraa Bin Malik Brigade (BBMB), uses unrestrained violence against civilians to undermine efforts to resolve the conflict in Sudan and advance its violent Islamist ideology.
    • The SMB has contributed upwards of 20,000 fighters to the war in Sudan, many receiving training and other support from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
    • SMB’s BBMB fighters have conducted mass executions of civilians in areas they captured, and repeatedly and summarily executed civilians based on race, ethnicity, or perceived affiliation with opposition groups.
    • The Treasury Department designated BBMB in September 2025 pursuant to Executive Order 14098, “Imposing Sanctions on Certain Persons Destabilizing Sudan and Undermining the Goal of a Democratic Transition” for its role in Sudan’s brutal war.

    Terrorist designations expose and isolate entities and individuals, denying them access to the U.S. financial system and the resources they need to carry out attacks.   
     
    All property and interests in property of the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood that are in the United States or that are in possession or control of a U.S. person are blocked. U.S. persons are generally prohibited from conducting business with sanctioned persons.  

    Persons that engage in certain transactions or activities with the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood may expose themselves to sanctions risk. Notably, engaging in certain transactions with them entails risk of secondary sanctions pursuant to counterterrorism authorities.  
       
    Today’s actions are taken pursuant to section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and Executive Order 13224. Foreign Terrorist Organization designations go into effect upon publication in the Federal Register.

    Petitioners requesting removal of those designated today from the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List should refer to the Department of State’s Delisting Guidance page.

    Targeting Paramilitary Commanders Committing Atrocities in Sudan

    PRESS STATEMENT

    THOMAS “TOMMY” PIGOTT, PRINCIPAL DEPUTY SPOKESPERSON

    FEBRUARY 19, 2026

    Today, the United States is sanctioning Elfateh Abdullah Idris Adam, Gedo Hamdan Ahmed Mohamed, and Tijani Ibrahim Moussa Mohamed of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group whose members have committed genocide in Sudan. The RSF has perpetrated atrocities during the almost three-year conflict in Sudan. The RSF and allied militias engaged in a campaign of widespread killings, torture, and sexual violence in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, during the months-long siege and subsequent capture of the city in October 2025, targeting civilians based on their ethnicity and tribal identity. The RSF also prevented food and other humanitarian assistance from entering the city, leading to famine and disease.

    In addition, the Department of State is designating Elfateh Abdullah Idris Adam under Section 7031(c) for gross violations of human rights. Idris brazenly filmed his atrocities, including executing unarmed civilians in El Fasher. As a result, Idris and his immediate family members are ineligible for entry into the United States.

    The Trump Administration seeks a lasting peace in Sudan and an end to the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. We call on the belligerents to accept the U.S.-brokered humanitarian truce without preconditions.

    Today’s actions are being taken pursuant to the authorities under Executive Order (E.O.) 14098 and pursuant to Section 7031(c) of the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026 (Div. F, P.L. 119-75). For more information on today’s E.O 14098 action, please see the Department of the Treasury’s press release.

    and

    Sanctioning CJNG-Controlled Timeshare Resort for Defrauding U.S. Citizens

    PRESS STATEMENT

    THOMAS “TOMMY” PIGOTT, PRINCIPAL DEPUTY SPOKESPERSON

    FEBRUARY 19, 2026

    The United States is sanctioning Kovay Gardens, a Mexican timeshare resort, along with five Mexican individuals and 17 Mexican companies linked to timeshare fraud schemes orchestrated by the Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG).

    Last year, the Trump Administration designated CJNG as both a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). CJNG generates illicit revenue through drug trafficking, fuel theft, extortion, human trafficking, and timeshare fraud, and further endangers Americans by trafficking illicit fentanyl, which President Trump rightly designated as a weapon of mass destruction. The United States remains committed to protecting the American people from vicious FTOs and SDGTs.

    Today’s action was taken pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 14059, which targets the proliferation of illicit drugs and their means of production, and E.O. 13224, as amended, which targets terrorists and their supporters.

    For more information about today’s sanctions, please see Treasury’s press release.

  • February 19, 2026: SECO adds 7 persons to Sudan sanctions

    Translated FINMA notice:

    Updated sanction message: Sudan

    The Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research (WBF) has approved Annex 2 of the Ordinance of 25. May 2005 on measures against Sudan (SR 946.231.18).

    On the 18th February 2026, the Federal Department of Economics, Education and Research WBF amended Annex 2. The WBF has therefore adapted the SESAM (SECO Sanctions Management) database, which is relevant for Switzerland, and published the adjustment on its website. The urgent change takes effect on the 18th. February 2026, 11:00 p.m.

    In accordance with the provisions of the Regulation, financial intermediaries are required to implement the prohibitions, to block the assets of the sanctioned persons and to report the business relationships concerned to SECO. The report to SECO does not relieve a financial intermediary from making additional clarifications in the event of suspicion in accordance with Art. 6 GwG and, if he cannot clear them, to report it immediately to the notification office for money laundering in accordance with Art. 9 GwG.
