“Kushayb will be tried in Sudan’s domestic courts. He is under investigation. He will be held accountable” Sabdarat said.The judges of the ICC issued arrest warrants last year for Kushayb and Haroun on 51 counts of alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes. But Khartoum has so far refused to hand them over.

Sabdarat did not say on what charges will Kushayb be prosecuted despite earlier assertions that he has been cleared from any wrongdoings.Khartoum has been lobbying world countries to freeze a move by the ICC to indict president Omer Hassan Al-Bashir. In mid-July the ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo announced that he is seeking an arrest warrant for Al-Bashir.
The ICC’s prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo filed 10 charges: three counts of genocide, five of crimes against humanity and two of murder. In early October ICC judges have officially started reviewing the case in a process that could possibly drag on to next year.

The accusations against Ali Kushayb

HIGH RANKING JANJAWEED LEADER & SUSPECTED WAR CRIMINAL
WANTED FOR OVER 40 COUNTS OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND WAR CRIMES, FOR DIRECTING AND PARTICIPATING IN KILLINGS, RAPE, DESTRUCTION AND FORCIBLE DISPLACEMENT IN FOUR VILLAGES IN WEST DARFUR

Real name: Ali Mohamed Ali. AKA: Ali Kushayb, Ali Kosheib, Ali Kouchib, Ali Kosheb, Ali Koshib and Ali Koship

On 31st March 2005, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1593, referring the situation in Darfur to the ICC. Following a 20 month investigation the Court decided that there was sufficient evidence to indict Ali Kushayb.

During 2003-4 Kushayb was the most senior Janjaweed commander in the Wadi Saleh area in West Darfur – he was known as the ‘colonel of colonels’. Eventually, he came to command many thousands of Janjaweed militiamen and, with government support, led the joint government-militia “ethnic cleansing’ operations in Wadi Saleh.

Kosheib himself led a number of attacks against civilian villages, during the course of which civilians were killed, women raped, property looted and buildings razed to the ground.

In one attack, in the Kodoom area in August 2003, Kushayb was seen issuing instructions to the Militia/Janjaweed who carried out the attack, killing numerous civilians, some of them shot as they were fleeing.

During an attack on Bindisi on or about 15 August 2003, Kushayb was seen in military uniform issuing orders. His forces pillaged and burned homes and shops. The attack on Bindisi lasted for approximately five days and resulted in the destruction of most of the town and the death of more than 100 civilians, including 30 children.

In an attack on Arawala, in December 2003, the evidence shows that Kushayb personally inspected a group of naked women before they were raped by men in military uniform.

The evidence indicates that Kushayb also personally participated in at least one mass execution. In or around March 2004 he was involved in the execution of at least 32 men from Mukjar. Witnesses report that Kushayb beat these men as they were being boarded into Land Cruisers. The cars then left with Kushayb in one of them. About fifteen minutes later, gunshots were heard and the next day 32 dead bodies were found in the bushes.

Present whereabouts:

At the time the ICC warrant was issued Kushayb was in Sudanese Custody in relation to other incidents. However, according to recent reports, Kushayb was released from prison on 1 October 2007 and is currently at liberty in Sudan.

The Kenyan Attorney , Mr. Keriako Tobiko, requested Tuesday the High Court of Kenya to temporarily put under sequestration the rents of the “Spanish Villa” property, located in Nairobi, which have been up to now deposited into an account in Belgium, that is in the name of the wife of Mr Kabuga, Josephine Mukazitoni.

“It is good news but additional efforts must be deployed (by Kenya) to ensure his arrest”, reacted the spokesperson of the ICTR, Roland Amoussouga. “Our absolute priority is obviously the arrest of Kabuga. Any additional action by Kenyan authorities in the direction will be highly appreciated”, added Amoussouga. He said that Mr Kabuga is the subject of a particular resolution from the Security Council.

At the end of September 2006, the Prosecutor of ICTR), Hassan Bubacar Jallow, had pressed Kenya to arrest Mr Kabuga, who has been hiding in the East African country and conducting business activities. He said intelligence reports from their tracking team had reportedly pointed that Kabuga was in Kenya.The following month, the Kenyan police had renewed its calls for his arrest, presenting him as an “extremely dangerous fugitive”.

Accused of having ordered machetes which were used in the massacres of 1994, Kabuga is the ICTR’s most wanted suspect.

He had initially taken refuge in Switzerland before escaping to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), then to Kenya; where he escaped at least three from attempts to arrest him.

He is suspected of having received protection on behalf of the former Kenyan President, Daniel Arap Moi. Kabuga’s son-in-law, Augustin Ngirabatware, former minister of planning, was arrested in Germany in September 2007. The indictment was issued by the ICTR; but the tribunal has not obtained his transfer to Arusha yet.

A member of the Rwandan presidential party of the time, the National Republican Movement for Democracy and Development (MRND), Mr. Kabuga was also a family relative of the former Rwandan President Juvénal Habyarimana, whose assassination on 6 April 1994 sparked the genocide.

Besides Kabuga, 12 others persons accused by the ICTR are still at large as the Security Council has requested the tribunal to finish this year the first instance trials.

One year after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for two war crimes suspects in Darfur, human rights organizations around the world are launching a “Justice for Darfur” campaign, calling for the two to be arrested.

The organizations behind the campaign, including Amnesty International, Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies, Coalition for the International Criminal Court, Human Rights First, Human Rights Watch and Sudan Organization Against Torture, have joined forces to call on the United Nations Security Council, regional organizations and individual governments to press Sudan to cooperate with the ICC.

The ICC has been investigating crimes in the region following a decision three years ago by the UN Security Council to refer to it the situation in Darfur. One year ago today – on April 27, 2007 – the ICC issued two arrest warrants against Sudan’s former State Minister of the Interior Ahmad Harun and Janjaweed leader Ali Kushayb for 51 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Today the two men – who face charges of persecution, rape, and killing of civilians in four West Darfur villages – remain at large.

“The thousands of people who suffered murder, rape and persecution in Darfur deserve justice,”
said Dismas Nkunda, Co – Chair of the Darfur -Consortium, a group of African and Middle Eastern NGOs. “Instead, all they have had is disdain from their own government, and empty words from the international community. It is time for that to change.”

The Sudanese government has publicly and repeatedly refused to surrender either Ali Kushayb or Ahmad Harun to the Court. Instead, Ahmad Harun has been promoted to State Minister for Humanitarian Affairs, responsible for the welfare of the very victims of his alleged crimes. As well as having considerable power over humanitarian operations, he is responsible for liaison with the international peacekeeping force (UNAMID) tasked with protecting civilians against such crimes. The other suspect, Ali Kushayb, was in custody in Sudan on other charges at the time the ICC warrants were issued, but in October the government announced he had been released, reportedly due to “lack of evidence.”

“The Sudanese government has shown blatant disregard both for the authority of the Security Council and for the victims of their brutality,” said Richard Dicker, director of the International Justice Program at Human Rights Watch. “So far, Sudan has faced no consequences for this brazen snubbing of the Court and the Council”.

The members of “Justice for Darfur” are urging the UN Security Council to pass a resolution calling on Sudan to cooperate fully with the ICC and immediately arrest Ahmad Harun and Ali Kushayb and surrender them to the Court.

“Now is the time for the Security Council to act to ensure that the men are arrested and surrendered to the ICC without further delay, as a first step towards ending impunity for the vast scale of horrific crimes committed in Darfur,” said Christopher Hall, Senior Legal Adviser for Amnesty International’s International Justice Project.

The group also called on the European Union, a strong supporter of the Court and key player in bringing the Darfur crimes to the ICC Prosecutor, to press Sudan to cooperate with the ICC and comply with the warrants. They called on other states and regional organizations to do so too.

“Through the ‘Justice for Darfur’ campaign, organizations will work together to generate as much pressure as possible on the international community to follow through on its commitment to justice for the victims of these crimes,” said Moataz El Fegiery, Executive Director at the Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies.

Arrest Warrant Issued by: INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT IN THE HAGUE / ICC/INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT

DETAILS

STATE MINISTER FOR HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS IN DARFUR, PEACEKEEPER LIAISON & SUSPECTED WAR CRIMINAL

WANTED FOR OVER 40 COUNTS OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND WAR CRIMES, FOR RECRUITING, FUNDING AND DIRECTING JANJAWEED MILITIA RESPONSIBLE FOR RAPING, PERSECUTING, ATTACKING AND KILLING CIVILIANS, AND FOR INCITING THEM TO CARRY OUT THOSE ATTACKS

AKA: Ahmed Haroun, Mohamed Ahmed Haroun and Ahmed Haroon

From about April 2003 to September 2005, Ahmad Harun was State Minister for the Interior in Sudan – with special responsibility for the ‘Darfur Security desk’.

He was responsible for co-ordinating and directing the activities of the Janjaweed militia, Sudanese armed forces, intelligence and security services – used in a vicious ‘counter insurgency’ campaign against Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa and other non-Arab civilians whom he claimed were supporting the rebels. Substantial evidence was put before the Court to show that Harun had personally participated in the recruitment of Janjaweed militia, as well as mobilizing, funding and arming them. He was repeatedly identified as liaising with Janjaweed commanders, and the Court found there was reasonable grounds to believe that Harun knew full well that his new recruits, who were sometimes criminals released from prison, were committing crimes against humanity and war crimes against civilians in Darfur. Not only that, but evidence gathered by the ICC shows that Harun personally incited the militia to attack the Fur, Zaghawa and Masalit people. In one public speech to the massed ranks of Janjaweed, shortly before they looted the town of Mukjar, he stated that “since the children of the Fur had become rebels, all the Fur and what they had, had become booty.”

Present whereabouts:

Ahmad Harun continues to oversee humanitarian operations in Darfur in his capacity as State Minister for Humanitarian Affairs. In September 2007 Khartoum has appointed him to co-chair a commission whose mandate includes investigating human rights violations in Darfur.

The Government of Sudan has refused to surrender Harun to the ICC, insisting that he had no links to the Janjaweed. Khartoum also argues that, since it is not an ICC signatory, proceedings against Harun are a matter for the Sudanese judicial system.
