After nearly two decades, the ICC drops charges against Sudanese rebel Abdallah Banda for allegedly attacking AU peacekeepers in 2007 — a move that stuns judges and devastates 103 victims still waiting for justice. Prosecutors admit key witnesses are now deemed unreliable and a new witness could bolster Banda’s defense, concluding no conviction is realistically possible. The court’s judges sharply criticized the decision, calling it a failure to uphold fair trial standards. This setback arrives amid broader ICC turmoil, including a looming leadership vote, while Darfur’s brutal history of violence and impunity — including the still-at-large Omar al-Bashir — continues to haunt the region.
