THE HAGUE, March 22 (Xinhua) -- Congolese warlord Bosco Ntaganda, also known as "The Terminator", has left Rwanda and is on the way to The Hague, the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague confirmed on Friday.
Ntaganda, who is a key figure in the conflict in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), surrendered to the U.S. embassy in Kigali on Monday.
The ICC has charged him with 10 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, which Ntaganda denies.
The charges against him include murder, sexual slavery and the recruitment of child soldiers in the Congo's Ituri region in 2002 and 2003.
"This is a good day for victims in the DRC and for international justice," said ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda.
