US Imposes Sanctions on Network It Accuses of Fueling War in Sudan
Share
Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
The US Treasury Department 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 support, training—including to child soldiers—and participated in battles across Sudan, including Khartoum and al-Fashir. The US has accused the RSF of genocide and targeting civilians. One sanctioned individual, Alvaro Andres Quijano Becerra, a retired Colombian military officer based in the UAE, was identified as central to recruiting efforts, with the US calling on external actors to stop funding and arming the conflict participants.

Scripture: Proverbs 6:16-19
"There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil, A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers."
Commentary:
This passage directly confronts the realities seen in Sudan’s ongoing violence and the recruitment of outsiders to perpetuate conflict. The use of foreign soldiers and child fighters for personal or political gain reveals the depth of human cruelty. People reading about these events may feel distanced, but the suffering is very real for those caught in the battles. Actions stirring up strife and shedding innocent blood consistently fit biblical warnings about escalating evil before the return of the Lord.
Trend:
Transnational recruitment and targeted violence highlight patterns of lawlessness and exploitation that scripture warns will mark the approach of prophetic end-times events.

The Colombians have provided the RSF with tactical and training expertise and served as infantry and artillerymen, drone pilots and instructors, among other roles, with some training children to fight for the paramilitary group, according to Treasury, which added that Colombian fighters have participated in battles across Sudan, including i...
