The authorities in Chad have handed over former Central African Republic (CAR) militia leader to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Maxime Jeoffroy Eli Mokom was the leader of an anti-Balaka militia and is suspected of crimes against humanity and war crimes committed in 2013 and 2014.
His arrest warrant was issued in 2018.
The ICC said Mr Mokom, 43, is suspected of being responsible for extermination, forcible transfer of population, torture, mutilation and enlistment of child soldiers among other crimes.
The Hague-based court said Mr Mokom appearance before a pre-trial chamber will take place in due course, according to a statement.
