'Terminator' Of Congo, Bosco Ntaganda, Gets Historic 30-Year Sentence – AuthenticAfrican

Posted on by NPR - Africa News

Bosco Ntaganda, the former Congolese militia leader known as "Terminator," awaits his verdict Thursday in the courtroom of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands. The warlord would ultimately be sentenced to 30 years in jail for war crimes in the early 2000s.

The prison sentence is the longest ever doled out by the International Criminal Court, which earlier this year found the former warlord guilty of atrocities in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
