- Stated grounds
- National Movement for Reform and Development (NMRD) Field Commander Mayu is responsible for the kidnapping of African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) personnel in Darfur during Oct 2005. Mayu openly attempts to thwart the AMIS mission through intimidation; for example he threatened to shoot down African Union (AU) helicopters in the Jebel Moon area in Nov 2005. Through such actions Mayu has clearly violated SCR 1591 in constituting a threat to stability in Darfur and meets the criteria to be designated by the Committee to be subjected to sanctions
