Entités associées: FAS; bataillon Baraa bin Malik (BBMB). Abu Zaid Talha Al-Misbah est le commandant du bataillon Baraa bin Malik (BBMB), une milice islamiste combattant aux côtés des forces armées soudanaises (FAS) dans le conflit opposant, depuis le 15 avril 2023, les FAS, les Forces de soutien rapide (FSR) et leurs groupes armés alliés. Abu Zaid Talha Al-Misbah a participé à la défense de la base du corps blindé dans le sud de Khartoum entre juin et août 2023. Il a également dirigé les combattants du bataillon Baraa bin Malik, qui ont envahi le palais républicain de Khartoum en mars 2025. Abu Zaid Talha Al-Misbah participe donc activement aux efforts de guerre menés par les FAS, qui entravent ou compromettent les efforts déployés pour la reprise de la transition politique au Soudan. Abu Zaid Talha Al-Misbah porte une responsabilité, en termes de commandement, dans les exécutions sommaires de civils menées par le bataillon Baraa bin Malik dans le nord de Khartoum en septembre 2024 et à Gezirah en janvier 2025, qui constituent de graves violations des droits de l’homme, comme le montrent, entre autres, le rapport de décembre 2025 de la mission internationale indépendante d’établissement des faits sur le Soudan du Conseil des droits de l’homme des Nations unies et le rapport de février 2025 de Human Rights Watch. Abu Zaid Talha Al-Misbah a donc été directement impliqué dans la perpétration par le bataillon Baraa bin Malik d’actes constituant de graves violations des droits de l’homme, et il est également responsable de compromettre les efforts déployés pour la reprise de la transition politique au Soudan.

Abu Zaid Talha Al-Misbah took part in the defence of the Armored Corps base in south Khartoum between June and August 2023. He also headed Baraa bin Malik Battalion’s fighters who flooded into the Republican palace in Khartoum in March 2025. Abu Zaid Talha Al-Misbah is therefore participating actively in the war efforts led by the SAF, which are obstructing and undermining efforts to resume the political transition in Sudan. Abu Zaid Talha Al-Misbah holds command responsibility for the summary executions of civilians carried out by the Baraa bin Malik Battalion in Khartoum North in September 2024 and in Gezirah in January 2025, which constitute serious human rights violations, as documented by, among others, the December 2025 report of the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission for Sudan of the Human Rights Council of the United Nations and the February 2025 report of Human Rights Watch. Abu Zaid Talha Al-Misbah has therefore been directly involved in the perpetration by the Baraa bin Malik Battalion of acts that constitute serious human rights violations, and he is also responsible for undermining efforts to resume the political transition in Sudan.
