The ex-warlord was on trial for 13 counts of war crimes and 5
counts for crimes against humanity.
The trial had begun nine years after the International Criminal
Court called for his arrest.
Bosco Ntaganda, known as the “Congolese Terminator,” has been
found guilty of war crimes.
He had been charged with 18 counts of war crimes and crimes
against humanity.
Charges included recruiting child soldiers and murder, rape and
sexual slavery. The court said 2,123 victims of Ntaganda had been
consulted.
Ntaganda’s charges are from 2002 and 2003, when he was deputy
chief of staff of the military wing of the Union of Congolese
Patriots.
The ICC first called for Ntaganda’s arrest in 2006. He
surrendered to the US embassy in Kigali, the DRC, in 2013. He had
previously denied all charges.
