BANGUI, Central African Republic—Sudanese militia leader Ali Kushayb, who is charged with 50 crimes against humanity and war crimes related to the devastating conflict in Darfur, has been arrested—more than 13 years after a warrant was issued for him—and transferred to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, authorities said on June 9.
Kushayb surrendered to authorities in a remote corner of northern Central African Republic, near the country’s border with Sudan, International Criminal Court spokesman Fadi El Abdallah said. He later added that Kushayb arrived at the ICC’s detention center late on June 9.
