Notes
OFAC's recent action of 13 April 2010 ('Somalia Executive Order and Designations') added him to the SDN List. AFP reported in December 2014 that he remained on the US Treasury list after the UN removal. OFAC's Sanctions List Search (checked 27 Oct 2026) still shows him on the SDN List under the SOMALIA program; no US removal has been found.
