The United States government has intelligence on the entities funding and arming the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan, Secretary of State, Marco Rubio confirmed on Wednesday.

Speaking to the press in Hamilton, Canada, where he attended the G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, the top diplomat stated that multiple players are involved in the lingering Sudanese crisis.

Rubio said considering what the RSF and its fighters have done in the past weeks, the paramilitary group, which recently carried out a massacre in El Fasher, must not be allowed to have manufacturing capabilities.

“Someone’s giving them the money and someone’s giving them the weapon, and it’s coming through some country,” he said. “We know who they are, and we’re going to talk to them about it.”

Secretary Rubio disclosed that America would make the backers of the RSF understand that their actions are wrong: “It’s going to reflect poorly on them, it’s going to reflect poorly on the world if we can’t stop this.”

In late October, RSF militia members killed more than 460 patients and their companions at the Saudi Maternity Hospital, the only functioning hospital in El Fasher, sparking global outrage. At least 6 health workers were kidnapped.

More than 2,500 people have been killed since the RSF took over El Fasher after a 500-day battle with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). The civil war, which began in April 2023, is the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.

This week, 25 European nations expressed grave concerns over the brutal acts of violence against civilians across Sudan’s North Darfur and the Kordofan region during and after the fall of El Fasher to the RSF.

The allies, in a joint statement, decried the targeting of the young and elderly, ethnically motivated mass killings, sexual assaults, starvation as a warfare weapon, and the flagrant obstruction of humanitarian access.

The United Nations, rights groups and experts have condemned the widespread barbarism and war crimes in and around El Fasher. The UN Human Rights Council will hold a special session on the situation on November 14.
