The International Criminal Court (ICC) has convicted Ali Muhammad Ali Abd-Al-Rahman, also known as Ali Kushayb, on 27 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The convictions stem from atrocities committed in Sudan"s Darfur region between August 2003 and April 2004.
The charges against Kushayb include murder, rape, torture, persecution, and the forcible transfer of non-Arab civilians. This ruling marks a significant development in the pursuit of justice for the victims of the Darfur conflict.
