WASHINGTON - US Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday
said he welcomed the removal of Congolese warlord Bosco Ntaganda from Rwanda to
the International Criminal Court in the Hague.
"This is an important
moment for all who believe in justice and accountability," Kerry said in a
statement.
Ntaganda gave himself up to the US embassy in Kigali, Rwanda
on Monday after a 15-year career that spanned a series of Rwandan-backed
rebellions in eastern Congo. He asked to be sent to the ICC, where he faces war
crimes charges.
