A war crimes complaint against Sudan's paramilitary group, Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has been filed in Kenya.  This is the first time in Kenya's history that a complaint for war crimes and crimes against humanity is being filed under the principle of universal jurisdiction, allowing Kenyan authorities to prosecute crimes committed in another country. The victims are asking the Kenyan Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to investigate 10 members of the RSF, including some with alleged ties to Kenya, for committing these international crimes in and around Khartoum between April 2023 and March 2025. Lulu Gaboo spoke to Antonia Mulvey, the Executive Director at Legal Action Worldwide (LAW).
