Ali Muhammad Ali Abd-Al-Rahman (Arabic: علي محمد علي عبد الرحمن), commonly known as Ali Kushayb (Arabic: علي كوشيب) (also: Koship, Kosheib, Kouchib, Kosheb, Koshib), is a senior Janjaweed commander who supported the Sudanese government against Darfur rebel groups during the Omar al-Bashir presidency. He was indicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes.[2] He was known as aqid al oqada ("colonel of colonels")[2] and was active in Wadi Salih, West Darfur.[3]
On 27 February 2007, Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo charged Kushayb with crimes against civilians in Darfur during 2003 and 2004, accusing him of ordering killings, rapes, and looting.[2] An ICC arrest warrant was issued for him and Ahmed Haroun, his co-defendant, on 27 April 2007.[4] In April 2008, he was released from Sudanese custody.[5] Sudanese authorities re-arrested Kushayb in October 2008.[6] In early 2013, Kushayb was commander of the Central Reserve Forces (Abu Tira) in Rahad el-Berdi in South Darfur.[1] Reports on his activities continued sporadically from 2013 to 2017.[7][8] He was taken into custody by the International Criminal Court in June 2020.[9]
