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 joined the RSF, providing tactical expertise and training soldiers, including children, and participating in battles across Sudan. Among those sanctioned is Alvaro Andres Quijano Becerra, accused of recruiting and deploying Colombian fighters. The US has called on external actors to stop supporting the conflict, which began in April 2023 and has caused widespread violence, famine, and displacement.

Scripture: Proverbs 1:10-12
"My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent. If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us ambush the innocent without cause; Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, even whole, as those who go down to the pit;"
Commentary:
Distant conflicts have a way of drawing in people from far outside the original dispute, often luring them into violence with promises or pressure. It's unsettling to see trained soldiers recruited from across continents to fuel war and chaos in Sudan. Scripture exposes the danger of participating in schemes that shed innocent blood. This wider pattern—international actors inflaming conflict—mirrors end-time trends where instability and violence propagate beyond natural borders.
Trend:
Transnational recruitment for violent conflicts is amplifying global instability, illustrating the widening patterns of destructive alliances described in prophetic Scripture.
