Friday, Bosco Ntaganda, a Congo rebel
leader, was in the custody of the International Criminal Court’s custody. He
surrendered voluntarily to the U.S. Embassy in Kigali on March 18th.
Ntaganda is wanted for war crimes dating back to 2002. He left Congo’s army
last year amid fears he would be arrested and started M23, a rebel group. Last
month, M23 split into numerous factions, one of which vowed to capture
Ntaganda. Ntaganda is an ethnic Tutsi who was born in Rwanda. He is facing
seven counts of war crimes and three counts of crimes against humanity. He is
accused of using child soldiers and murdering civilians in Congo’s Ituri region.
