OFAC alleged that SBL Energy supplied more than 200 shipments of explosives and explosive-related materials to Sudan-based Target Multiactivities Company (TMAC), which maintained the SAF&#8217;s arsenal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">The US Treasury Department said the explosives were subsequently used in bombs deployed by the SAF.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">Sanctions were also imposed on SBL Energy Limited, TMAC, its general manager and senior Defense Industries System (DIS) official Tariq Hussain Muhammad Madani, along with other firms based in Sudan and Egypt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"continue-read-break\" style=\"visibility: visible; opacity: 1; position: static; content-visibility: visible; margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">&#8220;These networks supply weapons, explosives, and foreign fighters to both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. Their support has prolonged a conflict that has created the world&#8217;s worst humanitarian crisis and provided space for terrorist groups to operate,&#8221; Tommy Pigott, spokesperson for the US Department of State, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">According to the Treasury Department, the Defense Industries System (DIS) is Sudan&#8217;s largest defence enterprise and is responsible for supporting and maintaining the SAF&#8217;s arsenal of arms, ammunition, vehicles and military equipment, much of it acquired from Iran and other external backers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">DIS controls several subsidiaries, including the Sudanese conglomerate Giad Industrial Group, also known as Sudan Master Technology, through complex corporate structures that have generated billions of dollars in revenue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">The Treasury Department said DIS&#8217;s acquisition of military equipment and related materials had enabled the SAF to sustain combat operations against the RSF, carry out attacks on civilians, and obstruct efforts to secure a ceasefire. Both DIS and Giad were sanctioned by the US in 2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">OFAC also designated Ports Engineering Company Ltd, a state-owned civil engineering firm based in Port Sudan and established in 1998. Linked to Sudan Master Technology, the company allegedly imported military uniforms and footwear for Sudanese intelligence from a company in the United Arab Emirates, as well as ammunition belts and weapons cases from a Turkish firm after the conflict erupted in April 2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">The sanctions also target individuals linked to a transnational recruitment network accused of enlisting former Colombian military personnel to fight alongside the RSF.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">The network is led by retired Colombian officer Alvaro Andres Quijano Becerra and his wife, Claudia Viviana Oliveros Forero, who had previously been sanctioned by Washington.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">US authorities also blacklisted three executives associated with Panama-based Talent Bridge SA, a company allegedly used to conceal the recruitment operation.

After Somali pirates hijacked the North Korean cargo ship Dae Hong Dan and took its crew hostage, the sailors launched a desperate counterattack to retake their vessel. As the battle unfolded, nearby U.S. Navy warships moved in to assist. The result was one of the strangest moments in modern geopolitics: American forces helping save a North Korean ship from pirates.

But in 2007, an extraordinary incident in the Indian Ocean forced the two enemies onto the same side. After Somali pirates hijacked the North Korean cargo ship Dae Hong Dan and took its crew hostage, the sailors launched a desperate counterattack to retake their vessel. As the battle unfolded, nearby U.S. Navy warships moved in to assist. The result was one of the strangest moments in modern geopolitics: American forces helping save a North Korean ship from pirates. This is the remarkable true story of the Dae Hong Dan incident and the only time the United States and North Korea effectively fought together against a common enemy.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"see-more see-more-bottom see-more-btn-container\" style=\"display: -webkit-box;
