Switzerland Delists One from Sudan List, Amends South Sudan Minister's Entry
Switzerland has updated its Sudan and South Sudan sanctions lists, removing one individual and amending the entry for a member of South Sudan's government.
Algoney Hamdan Dagalo Musa, the brother of the head of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has been removed from the sanctions list established under the 2005 Sudan ordinance. He had been listed in February 2026 over his involvement in the procurement operations of the RSF.
Separately, the designation of Michael Makeui Leuth under the 2015 South Sudan ordinance has been amended. The updated entry reflects that he now holds the position of Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs in South Sudan.
The changes are a reminder that sanctions lists are dynamic, with entries subject to removal and amendment as circumstances evolve. Compliance teams should keep screening data synchronised with the latest Swiss updates to avoid acting on outdated information — whether by continuing to treat a delisted person as sanctioned or by relying on incomplete details for those whose entries have changed.
