Key Takeaways
AIDutch broadcaster NOS has revealed that Koony Dagalo, brother of Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commander Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemeti, attended an international peace conference in The Hague in late 2024 using a pseudonym.
The report stated that Koony Dagalo, who is responsible for arms procurement for the RSF and is subject to international sanctions, entered Europe under the name Ahmed Musa. Organizers failed to identify his true identity during his participation.
The conference was held at a building affiliated with Erasmus University in The Hague and was attended by international figures involved in peace efforts.
Commenting on the incident, the Clingendael Institute, which organized the conference, described Dagalo’s unexpected attendance as a “serious mistake.”
