Sudan militia chief sentenced to 20 years for war crimes during Darfur conflictKushayb, aged 76, is the first person to be tried by the ICC for atrocities committed during the civil war. Ali Muhammad Ali Abd-Al-Rahman had been convicted in October on 27 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Darfur region. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has sentenced a Sudanese militia leader to 20 years in prison for atrocities committed during a civil war more than two decades ago. "Abdal Raman not only gave the orders which led directly to the crimes but... also personally perpetrated some of them," Judge Korner told the court. That same systematic violence is still happening in Darfur as part of Sudan's current civil war.
