Fatou Bensouda, the International Criminal Court Prosecutor, is expected in Sudan next week as she waits for judges to confirm war crimes charges against Ali Muhammad Ali Abd-Al-Rahman.
At the confirmation of charges hearing of Mr Abd-Al-Rahman commonly known as Ali Kushayb that was held from February 24 to 27, Ms Bensouda said that her office will prove that the former Janjaweed senior operative had committed crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur since 2003.
“I stand here today in solidarity with the victims. We seek justice for the victims of rape, murder, torture and other crimes committed in Darfur,” Ms Bensouda told the court at the opening of the session on May 24.
