    The Secretary of State, Michael R. Pompeo, has reviewed evidence and worked with the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury to determine that Harakat Sawa'd Misr and its aliases meet the criteria of a foreign terrorist organization under U.S. law. This decision means that Harakat Sawa'd Misr and its various names are officially designated as a foreign terrorist organization according to section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This designation will be published in the Federal Register.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government has officially labeled a group called Harakat Sawa'd Misr as dangerous, like a bad guys club, so they can take special action against them, but they didn't explain all the reasons or what might happen next.

    In a notice published by the State Department, Muhammad Abbatay, also known as Mohamed Abbatay or Abd al-Rahman al-Maghrebi, is designated as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist due to his leadership role in al-Qa'ida. This decision is made under the authority of several Executive Orders, including Executive Order 13224, which blocks the property and interests of such individuals linked to terrorist activities. The State Department determined that no prior notice would be given to individuals subject to this ruling who might be in the United States, to prevent the undermining of these sanctions. This designation became official and was documented in the Federal Register on January 13, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The State Department announced that Muhammad Abbatay is labeled as a global terrorist because of his ties to a group called al-Qa'ida, and this means anything he owns in the U.S. can be taken away without telling him first because it might help stop bad things from happening.
