THE HAGUE: A feared Sudanese militia chief “willingly and enthusiastically” participated in war crimes, the International Criminal Court´s chief prosecutor charged on Wednesday, laying out searing accusations of rape, murder, and torture.
Prosecutor Karim Khan was summing up in the case of Ali Muhammad Ali Abd-Al-Rahman, also known by the nom de guerre Ali Kushayb, facing 31 charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity during Sudan´s brutal civil war. A leader of Sudan´s infamous Janjaweed militia, and ally of deposed Sudanese leader Omar al-Bashir, Abd-Al-Rahman is suspected of brutal attacks on villages in the Wadi Salih area of Darfur in August 2003.
Abd-Al-Rahman, who appeared in court wearing a light suit and striped tie, has denied the charges. He sat impassively as prosecutors presented closing arguments.
