Abdel Rahman Jumma (Arabic: عبدالرحمن جمعة, romanized: ʻAbd-al-Raḥmān Jumʻah, born 01 January 1969), also spelled Abdel Rahman Joma'a, is a Sudanese Major General in the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) who hails from Ed Daein, East Darfur. He faced accusations of grave violations, including war crimes and genocide, in the Darfur region during the war in Darfur and battle of Geneina including the Killing of Khamis Abakar. During the Sudanese civil war (2023–present), the Darfur Bar Association called for international prosecution and UN intervention in June 2023. Jumma's actions within the RSF sparked controversy due to their involvement in conflicts leading to unrest and displacement. In August 2023, the SAF's War Crimes Committee, led by Sudan's Transitional Sovereignty Council, listed Jumma among wanted individuals, emphasising crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide allegations.
In May 2024, the United States imposed sanctions on Jumma.[1]
