Abstract: 

                A non-governmental organization has brought the first complaint to prosecute members of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), for war crimes in Sudan.  The RSF is the paramilitary group fighting against the Sudanese military for over three years.  The complaint -- on behalf of victims of alleged atrocities resulting from the conflict -- asks prosecutors in Kenya to investigate allegations of torture and sexual violence by members of the RSF.
