WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States condemns attacks on civilians by Sudan's Rapid Support Forces and called on them to halt violence against civilians, the State Department said on Tuesday.

The U.S. will continue to impose costs on those fuelling atrocities in Sudan, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller warned at a regular news briefing.
