The International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor announced plans to seek arrest warrants for individuals accused of committing atrocities in Sudan's West Darfur region. The ongoing conflict in Darfur, which has been ongoing for 19 months, has reportedly involved ethnic cleansing by paramilitary forces.
The prosecutor highlighted that crimes are being committed in Darfur on a daily basis and are being used as a weapon of war. This determination was made based on a thorough analysis of evidence collected by the ICC.
