Khartoum \u2014 The Chadian president Idriss Deby is now engaged to the daughter of the notorious Darfuri Janjaweed leader Musa Hilal, according to a news report.<\/p>\n
The privately-owned al-Sudani newspaper said that Deby got engaged to Amani Musa Hilal during his most recent visit to Sudan, which took place last month.<\/p>\n
“Africa Alyom” newspaper, quoting informed Chadian sources, said that Deby paid a $26 million dowry of which $25 million was paid to Musa Hilal and the rest to his daughter in the form of gold and jewelry.<\/p>\n
The wedding is set to take place on 10 January 2012 at Rotana hotel in Khartoum, al-Sudani reported.<\/p>\n
Hilal stands accused by many human rights groups of leading terror campaign against the African tribes Sudan’s western region of Darfur.<\/p>\n
The leader of the Darfurian Arab Mahameed clan denied any wrongdoings and told Human Rights Watch (HRW) in a videotaped interview in 2005, that he only recruited militias on behalf of Sudan’s central government.<\/p>\n
The Darfur conflict began in 2003 when an ethnic minority rose up against the Arab-dominated government in Khartoum, which then was accused of enlisting the Janjaweed militia group to help crush the rebellion.<\/p>\n
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) imposed travel and financial sanctions on Hilal and three other individuals in April 2006.<\/p>\n
