| The United Nations and the African Union said on Friday the names of a militia leader and his collaborators who destroyed a village in Sudan's conflict-wracked Darfur region this week will be turned over for possible UN sanctions and prosecution by the International Criminal Court. A joint statement issued by the top UN envoy in Sudan, Jan Pronk, and the top AU envoy, Baba Gana Kingibe, expressed "utter shock and disbelief" at Thursday's daylong attack on the South Darfur village of Khor Abeche by armed militia from the Miseriyya tribe of Niteaga under the command of Nasir Al Tijani Adel Kaadir. The statement said the names of Al Tijani and his known collaborators will be turned over to a UN Security Council committee charged with deciding which Sudanese are thwarting peace efforts and should be subject to a travel ban and asset freeze. Al Tijani is the first Sudanese publicly identified as a possible war crimes suspect. |
