On 29 January 2026, the Council of the European Union adopted sanctions against seven individuals, in view of the continued grave situation in Sudan, the dramatic escalation of violence causing irreparable costs to human life in Darfur and throughout the country, as well as violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law.

With these listings, the Sudan sanctions regime now applies to 18 individuals and eight entities. Those listed are subject to an asset freeze, and the provision of funds or economic resources, directly or indirectly, to them or for their benefit, is prohibited. Additionally, a travel ban to the EU applies to the natural persons listed.
