Is Garang Mayom Malek on a US, UN or UK financial sanctions list?
No exact Garang Mayom Malek entry was identified in the official OFAC SDN data, United Nations Security Council Consolidated List or UK Sanctions List checked on 31 October 2026. The US State Department's 12 May 2026 South Sudan release announced visa restrictions on unnamed members of the transitional government and did not name Garang Malek. Financial-list status and visa eligibility are separate questions, and this is a dated public-list result rather than a permanent clearance statement.
