Descriptions

Masar Abdurahman Aseel is a prominent tribal leader of the Mahamid clan in West Darfur. The Mahamid clan belongs to the Rizeigat tribe which gathers Arab communities inhabiting Darfur and Chad. He holds the title of Amir and is a member of the Native Administration in West Darfur. Masar Abdurahman Aseel has facilitated the attacks led by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their allied militias against local communities living in El Geneina (West Darfur), especially the Massalit people, since April 2023. In particular, he directly contributed to the recruitment and arming of militias by the RSF and to the coordination between these forces, as is reported by the 15th final report of the United Nations Panel of Experts on Sudan published in January 2024, to carry out their ethnically targeted attacks, notably against the Massalit communities, in West Darfur between late April and early November 2023. Propaganda videos featuring Masar Abdurahman Aseel were published by the RSF in March and in April 2024, demonstrating his warmongering support to the RSF and his role in rallying the troops behind the RSF to join their fight against the SAF since 15 April 2023. Masar Abdurahman Aseel has therefore engaged directly in, provided support to and benefitted from actions and policies that threaten the peace, stability and security of Sudan. By supporting the seizing of West Darfur by the RSF, Masar Abdurahman Aseel has strengthened his position and influence within the Native Administration of West Darfur, at the expense of other community leaders, notably belonging to the Massalit community, which have been targeted by the RSF and their allied militias.

Masar Abdurahman Aseel est un chef tribal de premier plan du clan Mahamid au Darfour occidental. Le clan Mahamid appartient à la tribu Rizeigat, qui réunit des communautés arabes vivant au Darfour et au Tchad. Il possède le titre d’émir et est membre de l’administration autochtone au Darfour occidental. Masar Abdurahman Aseel a facilité les attaques menées par les Forces de soutien rapide (FSR) et leurs milices alliées contre les communautés locales vivant à El Geneina (Darfour occidental), en particulier les Massalit, depuis avril 2023. En particulier, il a directement contribué au recrutement et à l’armement de milices par les FSR et à la coordination entre ces forces, comme l’indique le 15e rapport final du groupe d’experts des Nations unies sur le Soudan publié en janvier 2024, en vue de mener leurs attaques ciblées fondées sur l’appartenance ethnique, notamment contre les communautés massalit, au Darfour occidental entre fin avril et début novembre 2023. Des vidéos de propagande dans lesquelles apparaissent Masar Abdurahman Aseel ont été publiées par les FSR en mars et avril 2024, ce qui témoigne de son soutien belliciste aux FSR et de son rôle dans la mobilisation des troupes derrière les FSR pour participer à leur combat contre les FAS, depuis le 15 avril 2023. Masar Abdurahman Aseel s’est donc livré directement à la fourniture d’un soutien et a bénéficié d’actions et de politiques qui menacent la paix, la stabilité et la sécurité du Soudan. En soutenant la prise du Darfour occidental par les FSR, Masar Abdurahman Aseel a renforcé sa position et son influence au sein de l’administration autochtone du Darfour occidental, au détriment d’autres chefs de communauté, appartenant notamment à la communauté massalit, qui a été prise pour cible par les FSR et leurs milices alliées.
