| [All Africa] The International Criminal Court has upheld the war crimes conviction and 30-year sentence imposed on former Congolese warlord Bosco Ntaganda. Ntaganda was a former army general who later became a founding member of the M23 rebel group, which signed a peace deal with the government in 2013. He was the first-ever suspected war criminal to surrender to the ICC in 2013 by walking into the U.S. Embassy in the Rwandan capital Kigali. An ICC warrant for his arrest was first issued in 2006. Dubbed the "Terminator," the Rwandan-born 47-year-old was found guilty of crimes against humanity, including murder, sexual slavery, rape and using child soldiers. |
