Soussou has been designated for being a leader of an Anti-Balaka armed group that has, or whose members have, threatened the peace, security, or stability of the CAR.  Soussou is the Anti-Balaka commander in Boda, Lobaye Prefecture.  In early 2013, the Anti-Balaka in Boda surrounded the city’s approximate 10,000 Muslims in a single district and shot at those approaching or attempting to cross the boundary, which is known as the “red line.”  Soussou personally threatened to kill any Muslim crossing the red line.  The Boda Anti-Balaka also threatened organizations distributing food aid to the surrounding population.
