Ali Muhammad Ali Abd-Al-Rahman

Ali Muhammad Ali Abd-Al-Rahman, also known as Ali Kushayb, is a former leader of the Janjaweed militia, a Sudanese rebel group responsible for atrocities in the Darfur region. He was convicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on 31 counts linked to killings, rape, and mass displacement. The ICC sentenced him to 20 years in prison, marking the court's first conviction regarding crimes committed in Darfur. This development is significant as it brings accountability for long-standing conflicts in Sudan's Darfur region, which have resulted in widespread human suffering and displacement. Abd-Al-Rahman's case highlights the importance of international justice and the need to hold individuals accountable for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
