International Criminal Court prosecutors announced that they are preserving evidence from Sudan’s Darfur region of potential war crimes undertaken by a paramilitary force, after they reportedly killed hundreds of people and seized a key government stronghold.

In a statement, the prosecutors office said that the court "is taking immediate steps regarding the alleged crimes in el-Fasher to preserve and collect relevant evidence for its use in future prosecutions.”
