Ugandan warlord Dominic Ongwen has been ordered by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to pay $56 million in reparations to his victims. Ongwen was found guilty of numerous crimes, including rape, kidnapping, and murder.
The ICC ruled that Ongwen must compensate his victims for the harm and suffering they endured as a result of his actions. This decision marks a significant step towards justice for the victims of his brutal attacks.
The $56 million will be divided among the victims who were affected by Ongwen’s crimes. It is hoped that this monetary award will help provide some measure of closure and assistance to those who have suffered at the hands of this warlord.
Ongwen’s conviction and the subsequent reparations order serve as a reminder that those who commit atrocities will be held accountable for their actions. The ICC’s decision sends a strong message that justice will prevail, even in the face of the most heinous crimes.
The victims of Ongwen’s brutal reign of terror deserve to be acknowledged and supported, and this reparations award is a critical step in that direction. It is a testament to the resilience and strength of those who have endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of this ruthless warlord.
