The International Criminal Court (ICC) on Monday said the former Central African Republic's militia leader Maxime Jeoffroy Eli Mokom Gawaka had been surrendered to the court by the authorities of the Republic of Chad for crimes against humanity and war crimes.
Mokom, a national coordinator of the so-called anti-balakka militias, is accused of crimes against the Muslim civilian population in the Central African Republic, including murder, torture, extermination and the use of child soldiers.
