Overview

Shield Protective Solutions Co. Ltd. is a private security company headquartered in Khartoum, Sudan. According to its own statements and media research, the company has more than 1,000 employees. Until mid-2021, the company was named More Secure Co. Ltd. The company is 49.9 percent owned by Musa Hamdan Daglo, a brother of Abdelrahim Hamdan Daglo and Mohammed Hamdan Daglo, both of whom are on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list because they lead the RSF. The remaining stake is owned by Mustafa Ibrahim Abdel Nabi. Since 2019, it has been alleged that the then-More Secure had connections to the RSF. The managing director was the Briton Ted Heathfield, who presumably left the company in early 2022. There is also a connection to the British Shield Security Services. The CEO of Shield Security Services, Adil Abdel-Hadi, sits on the supervisory board of the Sudanese Shield Protective Solutions. In addition, the British company offered to help with payment transactions with the Sudanese company. Furthermore, since the renaming of the Sudanese company, the logos are almost identical, and the uniform was adapted to the same blue colors of the British company. Zeit Online reported in detail on 1 October 2023 about extensive research into the network of Al Junaid Multi Activities, which is active in gold exports, and Shield Protective Solutions, through which the RSF finances its destabilizing activities. Clients of the company included the German Embassy in Khartoum, the Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and the embassies of Switzerland, Sweden, and Norway in Khartoum. Other clients of Shield Protective Solutions were Save the Children, the NDI, and IFES.
