- Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud welcomed the United States’ decision to designate the Sudanese branch of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization
DUBAI: Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud welcomed the United States’ decision to designate the Sudanese branch of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization during a phone call with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, according to a statement issued by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday.
During the call, Farhan expressed the Kingdom’s support for Washington’s move and emphasized Saudi Arabia’s backing for measures that strengthen regional stability and security.
The discussion comes as the US Department of State announced it is designating the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) and intends to formally designate the group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) effective March 16, 2026.
According to the State Department, the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood has used violence against civilians to undermine efforts to resolve Sudan’s ongoing conflict and promote its Islamist ideology.
US officials claim fighters associated with the group have carried out mass executions of civilians during the war, although no evidence was given in the departments statement released on March 9.
Washington also highlighted links between the group and Iran. The State Department claimed many of the group’s fighters had received training and other support from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
