The International Criminal Court 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 Chad for crimes against humanity and war crimes. CAR has been mired in violence since a coalition of mostly northern and predominantly Muslim rebels known as Seleka, or”alliance” in the Sango language, seized power in March 2013.

The ICC in 2018 issued an arrest warrant for Mokom, as it said there was reasonable grounds to believe he was responsible as coordinator of anti-balaka militias for crimes committed against Muslim civilians during attacks throughout the country between at least September 2013 and December 2014.
