Quote: Salah Gosh From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Major General Salah Abdallah "Gosh" is director of Sudan's National Security and Intelligence Services, and holds the rank of army major general.[1] Gosh has been accused of having a significant role in organizing the Khartoum government's militias in the Darfur Conflict. According to the journalist Mark Goldberg,[2] Gosh was "listed in a confidential annex to a January 30th Security Council report that identifies the 17 Sudanese individuals whom a panel of U.N. experts concluded were most responsible for war crimes and impeding the peace process."[3] The panel recommended to freeze foreign assets and ban international travel for these individuals.[4] Goldberg also described Gosh as "[the] personal government minder" for Osama bin Laden when the latter was in Sudan between 1990 and 1996. [5] According to Sudan commentator Eric Reeves, the panel also accused Gosh of having failed “to take action as Director of NSIS to identify, neutralize, and disarm non-state armed militia groups in Darfur [the Janjaweed],” as well as for “command responsibility for acts or arbitrary detention, harassment, torture, denial of right to fair trial.”[6] Gosh has also apparently been a point of contact between the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and Sudan on counter-terrorism issues[7]. Gosh told the Al-Ahdath daily from Libya that cooperation with the U.S. “helped avert devastating measures [by the U.S. administration] against Sudan”.[8] The U.S. allegedly flew Gosh to Washington D.C. in April 2005 to discuss capture of terror suspects.[9] He was subsequently denied re-entry to the U.S for medical treatment, but was issued a visa for travel to Britain.[10] In 2006, N’Djamena, the capital of Chad, underwent an assault by a rebel group which sought to overthrow President Idriss Deby Itno. In April 2008, the Chad government released a telephone conversation between Gosh and Chadian rebels in which Gosh asked for the prompt overthrow of president Deby.[11] After the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Al-Bashir, Gosh supposedly threatened with “amputation of the hands and the slitting of the throats of any person who dares bad-mouth al-Bashir or support” the ICC decision.[12] In May 2009, Gosh was reported to have ordered the closure of the newspaper Al-Wifaq after an editorial called for the death of Yasser Arman, a leader of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM). Some commentators, however, suggested that the death threat may have eemanated from Gosh's office in the first place.[13]
