Switzerland makes an addition to its ISIL and al-Qaida sanctions lists
Switzerland's State Secretariat for Economic Affairs modified its sanctions regime linked to ISIL and al-Qaida by listing Hamidah Nabagala, with the measure effective March 30, 2026. The action applies financial sanctions and an entry and transit ban under a U.N.-origin regime.
BERN, March 31, 2026 — Switzerland's State Secretariat for Economic Affairs on March 31 published a modification to its ordinance targeting persons, groups, companies and organizations associated with ISIL (Da'esh) and al-Qaida, adding one individual to the list with effect from March 30, 2026.
The newly listed person is Hamidah Nabagala, a Ugandan national born on March 9, 1996, with an address in Congo DR. The entry identifies the listing under foreign identifier QDi.439 and states that the measures fall under Article 3 paragraphs 1 and 2, covering financial sanctions, and Article 4, covering an entry and transit ban.
The record says Nabagala worked as a mediator in financing channels for ISIL in Central Africa, had been charged with financing a bombing in Kampala in 2021, and attempted to coerce her three children in Uganda to go to ISIL camps in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The notice also provides aliases and Ugandan passport details and says an INTERPOL-U.N. Security Council Special Notice web link is available.
The notice states the regime is of U.N. origin and records the modification as a listing dated March 30, 2026.
