UN Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1591 (2005)
Instrument
Paragraph 3(c) of resolution 1591 (2005); UN ref SDi.010
Listed
24 Feb 2026
Scope
Measures imposed by the Security Council under the 1591 regime (travel ban and asset freeze applied by the UK on that basis)
Notes
The UN narrative summary states he was reportedly present at the SAF 6th Infantry Division base in El Fasher on 26 October 2025, the day the RSF took it over, and reportedly appears in a video addressing detained people in civilian clothing. The 1591 regime's measures are time-limited: resolution 2828 (11 September 2026) extended them to 9 October 2026, and a further two-month technical rollover (reported 9 October 2026; resolution 2830 per UN press release SC/16470) extended them to 11 December 2026. Status should be re-checked after that date.
