Ntaganda, nicknamed the “Terminator” for his role as a military commander in a bloody ethnic conflict in the northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo in the early 2000’s, was sentenced by the Hague-based court last Thursday.
He was convicted on 18 counts including murder, sexual slavery and the use of child soldiers.
