[Public Notice: 12396]
Specially Designated Global Terrorist Designations of Messaoud Belhireche, Talha
al-Libi, Hamama Ould Khouier, and Hussein Ould Hammada
Acting under the authority of and in accordance with section 1(a)(ii)(B) of E.O. 13224,
the Secretary of State has determined that the persons known as Messaoud Belhireche
(also known as Usamah ‘Abd-al-Wahid al-Jaza’iri Belkacem, Usama Abu-‘Abd-alWahid al-Jaza’iri, Abu Usama al-Jaza’iri) and Talha al-Libi (also known as Sidi
Mohamed Ould Mohamed Salem, Abderrahmane Ould Mohamed Salem, Abu Talha alAzawadi, Abu Talha al-Barbouci) are leaders of Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin
(JNIM), an entity whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to a
determination by the Secretary of State pursuant to E.O. 13224, and the persons known as
Hamama Ould Khouier (also known as Hamza Ould Koiya, Hamza Tabankort, Hamama
Mehri) and Hussein Ould Hammada (also known as Alhoussein Ould Hamada, Zakaria
Tabankort) are leaders of al-Murabitoun, an entity whose property and interests in
property are blocked pursuant to a determination by the Secretary of State pursuant to
E.O. 13224.
Consistent with the determination in section 10 of E.O. 13224 that prior notice to persons
determined to be subject to the Order who might have a constitutional presence in the
United States would render ineffectual the blocking and other measures authorized in the
Order because of the ability to transfer funds instantaneously, the Secretary of State
determines that no prior notice needs to be provided to any person subject to this
determination who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, because to
do so would render ineffectual the measures authorized in the Order.
This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.

Dated: April 23, 2024.
Elizabeth H. Richard,
Coordinator for Counterterrorism.
