Bi Sidi Souleman dirige la milice Retour, Réclamation et Réhabilitation (3 R), active en République centrafricaine (RCA), qui a tué, torturé, violé et déplacé des civils, s'est livrée au trafic d'armes, à des activités de taxation illégales et s'est engagée dans une guerre avec d'autres milices depuis sa création en 2015. Bi Sidi Souleman lui-même a également participé à des actes de torture. Le groupe des 3 R a signé l'Accord politique pour la paix et la réconciliation en République centrafricaine le 6 février 2019 mais a commis des actes contraires à l'Accord et reste une menace pour la paix, la stabilité et la sécurité de la République centrafricaine. Par exemple, le 21 mai 2019, il a tué 34 civils non armés dans trois villages, exécutant sommairement les hommes adultes. Bi Sidi Souleman a ouvertement confirmé à une entité des Nations unies qu'il avait dépêché certains de ses éléments dans les villages en question à la date des faits, sans toutefois admettre avoir donné l'ordre de tuer. En décembre 2020, après avoir rejoint une coalition de groupes armés établie en vue de perturber le processus électoral, Bi Sidi Souleman aurait été tué lors de combats. Président et “général” autoproclamé du groupe armé Retour, Réclamation et Réhabilitation (3 R), Bi Sidi Souleman prend part à des actes qui menacent la paix, la stabilité et la sécurité de la République centrafricaine et qui compromettent en particulier la mise en œuvre de l'Accord politique pour la paix et la réconciliation en République centrafricaine, signé le 6 février 2019 à Bangui. Les combattants sous son commandement et lui-même ont commis des actes qui constituent de graves violations du droit international des droits de l'homme ou du droit international humanitaire. Le 21 mai 2019, le groupe des 3 R a tué 34 civils non armés dans trois villages (Koundjouli, Limouna et Bohong), exécutant sommairement les hommes adultes. Sous sa direction, les éléments des 3 R ont commis des actes de violence sexuelle et fondée sur le genre. En septembre 2017, lors d'une attaque contre Bocaranga, des éléments du groupe des 3 R ont violé plusieurs femmes et filles. Entre mars et avril 2020, des éléments du groupe ont été impliqués dans sept cas de violence sexuelle dans trois villages de la préfecture de l'Ouham-Pendé. Sous sa direction, le groupe des 3 R a continué d'entraver le rétablissement de l'autorité de l'État dans les zones où il opère en imposant des systèmes illégaux de taxation, notamment sur les activités de transhumance et sur les voyages, et est impliqué dans l'exploitation illégale de l'or dans les préfectures de la Mambéré-Kadéï et de la Nana-Mambéré. En 2019, sous sa direction, le groupe des 3 R a commis ses premières violations de l'Accord de paix. Bi Sidi Souleman a refusé dans un premier temps d'entamer le désarmement et la démobilisation des combattants du groupe des 3 R censés faire partie de la première unité spéciale mixte de sécurité dans l'ouest de la République centrafricaine. Le groupe a également continué à étendre son contrôle sur des territoires, forçant la MINUSCA à lancer une opération en septembre 2019 dans les préfectures de l'Ouham-Pendé, de la Nana-Mambéré et de la Mambéré-Kadéï, ainsi qu'à se livrer au trafic d'armes pour renforcer ses capacités militaires et à recruter des combattants étrangers. En 2020, sous la direction de Bi Sidi Souleman, le groupe des 3 R a continué à violer l'Accord de paix et à étendre son contrôle sur des territoires situés dans l'ouest du pays. En mai 2020, des éléments du groupe des 3 R ont occupé la gendarmerie de Besson dans la préfecture de la Nana-Mambéré, et d'anciens éléments du groupe ont déserté les unités spéciales mixtes de sécurité de Bouar. Le 5 juin 2020, Bi Sidi Souleman a annoncé que le groupe des 3 R suspendait sa participation aux mécanismes de suivi de l'Accord jusqu'à nouvel ordre. Le 9 juin 2020, des éléments présumés appartenir au groupe des 3 R ont attaqué une patrouille conjointe de la MINUSCA et des forces nationales près de Besson, ce qui a entraîné la mort de trois soldats centrafricains.

UK HMT/OFSI Consolidated List of Targets,

ビ・シディ・スルマンは、中央アフリカ共和国を拠点とする民兵集団「帰還・要求・復権(Retour, Réclamation, Réhabilitation)(3R)」を率いており、2015年の結成以来、市民の殺害、拷問、強姦及び強制移住、武器の不法取引、違法な課税活動並びに他の民兵との武力衝突を行ってきた。ビ・シディ・スルマン自身も拷問に参加してきた。2019年2月6日、3Rは中央アフリカ共和国の平和と和解のための政治協定に署名したが、同協定に違反する行為に関与しており、中央アフリカ共和国の平和、安定及び安全に対する脅威であり続けている。例えば、2019年5月21日、3Rは、3つの村で非武装の文民34名を殺害し、成人男性を即決処刑した。ビ・シディ・スルマンは、これら攻撃が行われた日に3Rの部隊にこれらの村に向かうよう指示したことを国連機関に対して公然と認めたが、3Rに殺害指示を与えたことは認めなかった。2020年12月、選挙プロセスを阻害するために設立された武装集団の連合に参加した後、ビ・シディ・スルマンは戦闘において殺害されたと報告されている。写真はインターポール(国際刑事警察機構)・国連安全保障理事会特別手配書に含まれているものを利用可能。同人に対するインターポール(国際刑事警察機構)・国連安全保障理事会特別手配書のウェブ・リンク:
