It insists it is strictly observing.

international humanitarian laws.

And the Sudan Witness Project was quite careful about its data.

It says that its research is incomplete because the results reflect access to available material rather than the total number of strikes.

And available material is quite limited in a war zone, sat images, videos, credible sources.

So it says military strikes are probably underreported.

And that's why they analyzed hundreds of reports of airstrikes.

So they were able to paint a wider picture and observe these wider patterns.

This is Ali Mohamed Ali Abderrahman, also known as Ali Khushaib.

This is the first ever conviction by the International Criminal Court for crimes committed in Darfur.

Not in this war, as you said, but more than 20 years ago when you had the Darfur genocide.

So this was carried out in part by a militia made up of Arab tribesmen known as the Janjuweed.

They were armed.

and basically put into action by the military ruler at the time, Omar al-Bashir, and they carried out mass killings and atrocities.

That was more than 20 years ago.

This is the first time there's been a conviction.

But it does have resonance today because the rapid support forces, which is the paramilitary force involved in the civil war,

evolved out of the Janjaweed.

And the kind of atrocities allegedly carried out by some of its fighters in the past two years seem to be following the same playbook as the Janjaweed, mass killings on ethnic grounds, rape, burning of villages, and so on.

A string of victims across the US stretching from coast to coast.
