ALNSIEM, Musa Hilal Abdalla
Alias: a) Sheikh Musa Hilal; b) Abd Allah; c) Abdallah; d) AlNasim; e) Al Nasim; f) AlNaseem; g) Al Naseem; h) AlNasseem; i) Al Nasseem Designation: a) formerly Member of the National Assembly of Sudan from Al-Waha district; b) formerly special adviser to the Ministry of Federal Affairs; c) Paramount Chief of the Mahamid Tribe in North Darfur Date of birth: a) 01 Jan. 1964; b) 1959 Place of birth: Kutum Nationality: Sudan Address: a) Kabkabiya, Sudan; b) Kutum, Sudan (Resides in Kabkabiya and the city of Kutum, Northern Darfur and has resided in Khartoum). Passport: a) Diplomatic Passport D014433, issued on 21 Feb. 2013 (Expired on 21 Feb. 2015); b) Diplomatic Passport D009889, issued on 17 Feb. 2011 (Expired on 17 Feb. 2013). Identification: Certificate of Nationality A0680623. Date of UN designation: 25 April 2006. Other information: INTERPOL-UN Security Council Special Notice web link: https://www.interpol.int/en/notice/search/un/5795065 Information from the narrative summary of reasons for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee: Alnsiem was listed on 25 April 2006 by paragraph 1 of resolution 1672 (2006) as ‘Paramount Chief of the Jalul Tribe in North Darfur’. Report from Human Rights Watch states they have a memo dated 13 February 2004 from a local government office in North Darfur ordering ‘security units in the locality’ to ‘allow the activities of the mujahideen and the volunteers under the command of the Sheikh Musa Hilal to proceed in the areas of [North Darfur] and to secure their vital needs’. On 28 September 2005, 400 Arab militia attacked the villages of Aro Sharrow (including its IDP camp), Acho, and Gozmena in West Darfur. We also believe that Musa Hilal was present during the attack on Aro Sharrow IDP camp: his son had been killed during the SLA attack on Shareia, so he was now involved in a personal blood feud. There are reasonable grounds to believe that as the Paramount Chief he had direct responsibility for these actions and is responsible for violations of international humanitarian and human rights law and other atrocities.’ |
