MUSA HILAL ABDALLA ALNSIEM
Date on which the narrative summary became available on the Committee's website: 
29 October 2014
Reason for listing: 

Alnsiem was listed on 25 April 2006 by paragraph 1 of resolution 1672 (2006) as “Paramount Chief of the Jalul Tribe in North Darfur”.

Additional information: 

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.
