'There was rejoicing across the camp after people heard Bashir is being handed over to the ICC.'
Local community leader Yaqoob Mohamed said the decision was"a victory for the victims" and would go a long way towards"rebuilding trust" with the leadership in Khartoum.
The conflict erupted when African minority rebels rose up against Bashir's Arab-dominated government in Khartoum that they accused of marginalising the region. Thousands of the militiamen were later incorporated into the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, led by commander and current political powerbroker Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemeti.The decision to surrender Bashir to the ICC came after protracted talks between rebel groups including from Darfur and Sudan's ruling body who took power after Bashir's ouster and arrest.
