Mohamed Ali Ahmed Subir is a Lieutenant General in the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Director of the Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI) of the SAF. In this capacity, he has been in charge of the operations carried out by the DMI since the outbreak, on 15 April 2023, of the conflict between the SAF, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their allied armed groups. This is underscored by his participation in publicly disclosed high-level meetings of senior commanders of the SAF, headed by Commander-in-Chief Abdelfattah Al-Burhan of the General Command of the SAF in Khartoum in May and July 2023. Mohamed Ali Ahmed Subir therefore holds a command responsibility in the harassment, arbitrary arrest and detention of: human rights defenders; local community activists, including anti-war activists; lawyers; medical professionals; volunteers supporting emergency services; members of political parties and of resistance committees; and people perceived as supporters of the RSF. Mohamed Ali Ahmed Subir has also been involved in several cases of sexual violence, including rape and rape threats, attributed to the DMI, and in the perpetration by the DMI of acts amounting to torture and other forms of ill-treatment. Mohamed Ali Ahmed Subir is also responsible for the imposition of significant restrictions by the DMI on aid access and delivery. Mohamed Ali Ahmed Subir has therefore been directly involved in the perpetration by the DMI of acts that constitute serious human rights violations and violations of international humanitarian law, and is thus responsible for actions that directly undermine efforts to resume the political transition in Sudan.
