(Date of UN designation: 2025-07-18)
Hussein Barsham is a Military Field Commander of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), an organisation that has been accused by international non-governmental organisations of ethnic cleansing and even genocide against the Masalit tribe and other non-Arab groups in Darfur. As a Commander, Hussein Barsham has led RSF soldiers in the capture of the Baleela airport from the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), and the capture of localities in the West Kordofan state, such as Meiram. He has played a leading role in RSF operations that have resulted in mass atrocities, including targeted killings, ethnic violence, forced displacement and violence against civilians, particularly in Darfur and other conflict-affected regions of Sudan. Under his command, RSF forces have been involved in mass killings and atrocities. Barsham has been engaged in the fighting in the Kordofan region. He has led attacks on several localities and has been present at the sites of atrocities and mass executions committed by soldiers under his command. Such acts constitute war crimes. Hussein Barsham is therefore responsible for actions that threaten the peace, stability and security of Sudan. He is also responsible for undermining efforts to resume the political transition in Sudan and for directing or committing acts in Sudan that constitute serious human rights violations or abuses or violations of international humanitarian law.

En tant que commandant, Hussein Barsham a dirigé les soldats des FSR lors de la prise de l’aéroport Baleela aux forces armées soudanaises (FAS), et lors de la prise de localités dans l’État du Kordofan occidental, telles que Meiram. Il a joué un rôle de premier plan dans les opérations des FSR ayant causé des atrocités de masse, y compris des assassinats ciblés, des violences ethniques, des déplacements forcés et des actes de violence contre des civils, en particulier au Darfour et dans d’autres régions du Soudan touchées par le conflit. Sous son commandement, les FSR ont été impliquées dans des tueries et atrocités de masse. Barsham a participé aux combats dans la région du Kordofan. Il a mené des attaques contre plusieurs localités et a été présent sur les lieux où des atrocités et des exécutions de masse ont été commises par des soldats sous son commandement. Ces actes constituent un crime de guerre. Hussein Barsham est donc responsable d’actions qui menacent la paix, la stabilité et la sécurité du Soudan. Il est également responsable de compromettre les efforts déployés pour la reprise de la transition politique au Soudan et de diriger ou commettre des actes au Soudan qui constituent de graves violations des droits de l’homme, ou de graves atteintes à ces droits, ou des violations du droit international humanitaire.
