Reason for listing
Per UN Security Council (listed ):
CDe.001 — ADF founder and leader, Jamil Mukulu (CDi.015), was arrested in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in April 2015. He was subsequently extradited to Kampala, Uganda in July 2015. As of June 2016, Mukulu is reportedly being held in a police detention cell awaiting his trial. Seka Baluku (CDi.036) succeeded Jamil Mukulu (CDi.015) as the overall leader of the ADF. As highlighted in several reports from the Group of Experts on the DRC (S/2015/19, S/2015/797, S/2016/1102, S/2017/672, S/2018/531, S/2019/469, S/2019/974, S/2020/482), the ADF, including under Seka Baluku’s leadership, continued to commit the repeated targeting, killing and maiming, rape and other sexual violence, abduction of civilians, including children, as well as attacks on villages and health facilities, in particular in Mamove, Beni territory, on 12 and 24 February 2019, and Mantumbi, Beni territory, on 5 December 2019 and 30 January 2020, as well as the continuous recruitment and use of children during attacks and for forced labour in Beni territory in the DRC since at least 2015.

About these sources
The UN Security Council Consolidated Sanctions List, maintained by the UN Secretariat on behalf of the Council's active sanctions regimes (Al-Qaida/ISIL, Taliban, DPRK, Iran non-proliferation, and multiple country regimes). UN member states are treaty-bound to implement these designations, and most national sanctions lists mirror them.
What a match means: A match is a binding multilateral UN Security Council designation — one of the most authoritative sanctions signals available; escalate immediately.
