PROPOSED SANCTIONS TARGETS
REF: MORRIS-ELLIS EMAIL 3/15/2007
Classified By: MINISTER COUNSELOR WILLIAM BRENCICK, FOR REASONS: 1.4(B)
AND (D).
1. (C) Action Request: On March 15 the French shared with
USUN Sanctions Unit a list of individuals that Paris would
support for additional targeted sanctions in Sudan (Ref
email). During the April 17 P3 meeting on the joint US-UK
draft Sudan sanctions resolution, French POLOFF Clement
LeClerc requested Washington feedback on the French list of
names. Paris has identified these individuals as human
rights violators from all parties to the conflict, and feel
that the "balanced" nature of the list and the "intermediate"
rank of the actors will ensure that targeting these
individuals will not undermine the peace process. USUN seeks
Department guidance on whether the USG can support any of the
French proposed names for sanctions.
2. (C) Begin French proposal:
Abdallah Safi Al Nour: Former governor of North Darfur, major
general in the SAF.
El-Tijani Abdel Qadir Muhammad: Leader of the Misseriya clan
in the Niteiga area in South Darfur. Involved in Janjaweed
attacks of April 2005 and April 2006 and identified for that
reason in the confidential annex of the panel of experts.
Mohammed Adam Naser: Former SLA chief of staff. Now a member
of the NRF. Identified in the confidential annex to the 3rd
final report to the panel of experts as responsible for
violations of the ceasefire and for massacres in the
framework of a "policy of ethnic cleansing" (French
quotations).
Khatir Tor El-Khala: G-19 commander, named by the panel
(confidential annex to the 3rd report) for violations of the
arms embargo and human rights.
Adam Ali Shogar: member of the joint committee of the G19 and
general coordinator of its operations. Named in the
confidential annex to the 3rd report of the panel as
SIPDIS
responsible for violations of the ceasefire and for attacks
against villages in July 2006. End French proposal.
