## Prediction

Over the next month, the UN’s sanctions on an RSF financier are likely to be complemented by targeted actions from individual states and financial institutions seeking to choke RSF revenue streams, particularly from gold and cross-border trade. Some Gulf and African intermediaries may quietly curtail dealings with RSF-linked entities to avoid reputational and legal risk. This will marginally weaken RSF’s formal financing but also push it toward more predatory resource extraction and protection rackets. The net impact on the conflict’s trajectory will be limited in the short term but may set conditions for longer-term bargaining.

## Drivers

- UN Security Council sanctions on Algoney Hamdan Dagalo
- Precedent of banks and traders derisking after high-profile sanctions designations
- International concern about Sudan conflict spillovers
