US Imposes Sanctions on Network It Accuses of Fueling War in Sudan
Share
Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
The United States Treasury Department on Tuesday imposed sanctions on four individuals and four entities linked to a transnational network recruiting former Colombian military personnel to fight for Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Since at least 2024, hundreds of Colombians have provided tactical expertise, served in combat roles, and trained soldiers, including children, in Sudan. The US has accused the RSF of genocide and said Colombian fighters have participated in battles across Sudan, including in Khartoum and al-Fashir. Among those sanctioned is Alvaro Andres Quijano Becerra, accused of recruiting Colombian military personnel for the RSF, while the US calls on external actors to cease financial and military support to the conflict parties.

Scripture: Isaiah 59:7-8
"Their feet run to evil, and they hasten to shed innocent blood; Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity, Devastation and destruction are in their highways. They do not know the way of peace, And there is no justice in their tracks; They have made their paths crooked, Whoever treads on them does not know peace."
Commentary:
These verses directly address what we see when fighters are recruited across borders to feed violence in distant lands. There are real people—families and entire communities—who experience the fallout of such recruitment firsthand. Financial incentives and alliances are drawing people into conflicts with devastating human costs. Scripture consistently spotlights how the escalation of violence and the exploitation of the vulnerable reflect recurring prophetic warning patterns. The spreading of warfare by external actors matches what Scripture outlines about global turmoil increasing before the end.
Trend:
Global networks fueling local conflicts mirror scriptural patterns of rising unrest and the spread of violence as prophetic times advance.
