[HIGHLIGHTS] Biden issues executive order imposing sanctions on Sudanese figures who are "destabilizing" and considers violence a "betrayal" of the people's demands

The conflict between the Sudanese army and the rebels has been raging for more than a year. The two sides have been at odds over control of the Dar es Salaam region of Sudan.

The Sudanese government has been trying to negotiate a deal to end the conflict. But the rebels have refused to give up their fight against the government. The U.S. government has said it will continue to fight the rebels until they give up the fight for Dar es salaam. The United States has been involved in the conflict since the 1980s, when it sent troops to Sudan.
