Remarks (as published)

Alvaro Andres Quijano Becerra was sanctioned by the UN on 28/04/2026 pursuant to paragraph 3 (c) of resolution 1591 (2005) on the following grounds: Alvaro Andres Quijano Becerra (Quijano) is being designated for engaging in actions or policies that threaten the peace, security, or stability of Darfur. Quijano plays a central role in recruiting and deploying former Colombian military personnel to Sudan. Video and photographic evidence shows these military personnel providing the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) with tactical and technical expertise, serving as infantry and artillerymen, drone pilots, vehicle operators, and instructors, with some even training children to fight in the RSF. The Colombian fighters have participated in numerous battles across Sudan, including in its capital, Khartoum, as well as Omdurman, Kordofan, and El Fasher. Quijano, a former associate of the Colombia-based Notre del Valle Cartel, is supported by a network of associates and companies that specialize in recruiting fighters and facilitating the movement of funds related to their deployment. Quijano co-founded an employment agency, International Services Agency (A4SI), that is the main recruiting node, having engaged in campaigns via its website, group chats, and townhalls to fill positions, including drone operators, snipers, and translators. Between 350 and 380 Colombian fighters, mostly retired soldiers, were recruited through several private security firms, including A4SI. Related listed individuals and entities: Claudia Vivana Oliveros Forero (SDi.013), Mateo Andres Duque Botero (SDi.014).
