This landmark ruling represents the first conviction of a militia leader for past atrocities in the region, acknowledging the brutal acts carried out more than 20 years ago by the feared Janjaweed militia. The verdict aims to provide justice for the victims of the Darfur conflict, marking a significant step forward in addressing the historical injustices faced by the local population.
