Massoud Abdelhafid (Arabic: مسعود عبد الحافظ, romanizedMasʿūd ʻAbd al-Ḥafīẓ) is a Libyan retired army general during the government of Muammar Gaddafi. He held various positions in government following the 1969 coup d'etat of Muammar Gaddafi, including Commander of Military Security,[1] Governor of Fezzan[2][3] and Head of Security in Major Cities.[4] He was a key figure in Libya's relations with neighbouring Chad and Sudan.[5] Massoud Abdelhafid was a senior commander in the Libyan Army during the Chadian–Libyan conflict.[6] Known for his leadership of Libyan-backed insurrections and wars in Chad, he was referred to as "Mr. Chad".[2] He married to a sister of al-Gaddafi[7] and to a niece of Goukouni Oueddei.[8]

2011 Libyan civil war

[edit]

The United Nations Security Council drafted a resolution naming 23 senior Libyan officials in the regime of Muammar Gaddafi to be sanctioned. The resolution, which included travel bans and asset freezes, named Massoud Abdelhafid.[9]

Following the defection of Abdul Fatah Younis, Gaddafi designated Abdelhafid as interior minister.[10] General Massoud Abdelhafid led the pro-Gaddafi forces in the city of Sabha during the Battle of Sabha and the Fezzan campaign.[2]

Abdelhafid was reported to have fled to Egypt alongside Interior Minister Nassr al-Mabrouk Abdullah.[11]
