LIST OF NATURAL AND LEGAL PERSONS, ENTITIES AND BODIES REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 5 A. Natural persons 1. ELHASSAN, Gaffar Mohammed Alias: Gaffar Mohmed Elhassan Designation: Major-General and Commander of the Western Military Region for the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) National identification no: Ex-serviceman's identification card 4302 Date of birth: 24 June 1952 Address: El Waha, Omdurman, Sudan Date of UN designation: 25 April 2006 Other information: Retired from the Sudanese Army. INTERPOL-UN Security Council Special Notice web link: https://www.interpol.int/en/notice/search/un/5282254 Information from the narrative summary of reasons for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee:
Council Regulation (EU) No 747/2014 of 10 July 2014 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Sudan and repealing Regulations (EC) No 131/2004 and (EC) No 1184/2005

The Panel of Experts report that Major-General Gaffar Mohammed Elhassan stated to them that he had direct operational command (primarily tactical command) of all elements of the SAF in Darfur while he was in command of the Western Military Region. Elhassan held this position as Western Military Area Commander from November 2004 (approx.)-early 2006. The Panel's information is that Elhassan was responsible for violations of paragraph 7 of SCR 1591 as by virtue of this position he requested (from Khartoum) and authorised (since 29 March 2005) the transfer of military equipment into Darfur without the prior approval of the 1591 Committee. Elhassan himself admitted to the Panel of Experts that aircraft, aircraft engines and other military equipment had been brought into Darfur from other parts of Sudan between 29 March 2005 and December 2005. For example he informed the Panel that 2 Mi-24 attack helicopters were brought unauthorised into Darfur between 18 and 21 September 2005. There are also reasonable grounds to believe that Elhassan was directly responsible, as Western Military Area Commander, for authorising offensive military flights in the area around Abu Hamra, 23-24 July 2005 and in the Jebel Moon area of Western Darfur, on 19 November 2005. Mi-24 attack helicopters were involved in both operations and reportedly opened fire on both occasions. The Panel of Experts report that Elhassan indicated to the Panel that he himself approved requests for air support and other air operations in his capacity as Western Military Area Commander. (See Panel of Experts report, S/2006/65, paragraphs 266-269.) Through such actions Major-General Gaffar Mohammed Elhassan has breached relevant provisions of SCR 1591 and therefore meets the criteria to be designated by the Committee to be subjected to sanctions.

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 mujahedeen 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.

INTERPOL-UN Security Council Special Notice web link: https://www.interpol.int/en/notice/search/un/5795071 Information from the narrative summary of reasons for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee: Mayu is responsible for the kidnapping of African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) personnel in Darfur during October 2005. Mayu openly attempts to thwart the AMIS mission through intimidation; for example he threatened to shoot down African Union (AU) helicopters in the Jebel Moon area in November 2005. Through such actions Mayu has clearly violated SCR 1591 in constituting a threat to stability in Darfur and meets the criteria to be designated by the Committee to be subjected to sanctions.

In May and June 2023, representatives of civil society in El Geneina, West Darfur, faced targeted threats and killings by the RSF and allied militia. On August 4, 2023, gunmen in RSF uniforms also abducted and killed human rights activist and lawyer Ahmed Mohammed Abdullah and his colleague Adam Omer in Nyala, South Darfur. The Governor of West Darfur, Khamis Abakar, was killed on June 14, 2023, and was last seen with Barkalla (see S/2024/65, para 71). Videos on social media showed Abakar being forced into a building by RSF soldiers, followed by a second video hours later showing Abakar’s dead body and troops in RSF uniforms celebrating around it. Between May and November 2023, the RSF and its allied militia carried out at least 10 attacks against civilians in the West Darfur towns of El-Geneina and Ardamata, killing thousands of people and burying them in more than 13 mass graves. Women and girls were also reportedly raped and sexually abused during these attacks.
