The United States designated organizations linked to the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan, namely the Sudanese Islamic Movement, or SIM, and the Al-Baraa bin Malik Battalion, or BBMB, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, effective from March 16, the U.S. State Department announced on March 9. Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, and former civilian Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok's Sumoud organization welcomed the announcement, but SIM Secretary-General Ali Karti rejected it, arguing that the movement was an "integral part" of Sudan's social and political life.

In November 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order designating Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations in Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon as FTOs.
SIM leader Karti and the BBMB are already under U.S. sanctions.
