Luis Moreno Ocampo, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) says he has documented evidence of thousands of killings of civilians in Darfur region in west Sudan.
The prosecutor who is investigating alleged crimes against humanity declares the killings include large scale massacres and hundreds of rape. Investigators from the ICC have not been able to travel to Darfur, the BBC says, but they have managed to collect information about thousands of alleged murders in the western region of Sudan.
While the authorities in Khartoum the capital city of Sudan say they're continuing to set up courts and the Sudanese judiciary will investigate allegations of abuse, the ICC prosecutor says they do not appear to have done that. He adds that the government has agreed to interviews with officials in August this year.
