A "poor farmer's son",[9] he is believed to be of Lendu ethnicity[1] and speaks Lingala, French, Swahili and Kilendu.[3] He is married to Semaka Lemi and has two children.[1] CareerNgudjolo began his career as a corporal in the Congolese army (then called the Forces Armées Zaïroises) under the dictator Mobutu Sese Seko.[4] He deserted when the First Congo War broke out in 1996 and, during the years that followed, he trained as a nurse and worked for the Red Cross in Bunia.[4][5] The Second Congo War began in 1998, but Ngudjolo did not become involved until 2002, when the Union of Congolese Patriots took control of Bunia.[4][5] Between August 2002 and August 2006, Ngudjolo held senior positions in a number of rebel groups involved in the conflict in Ituri, including the National Integrationist Front (FNI), the Patriotic Resistance Force in Ituri (FRPI) and the Congolese Revolutionary Movement (MRC).[3] On 24 February 2003, he allegedly led an attack on the village of Bogoro in which rebels under his command went on an "indiscriminate killing spree",[6] killing at least 200 civilians, imprisoning survivors in a room filled with corpses, and sexually enslaving women and girls.[1] Ngudjolo allegedly ordered his fighters to "wipe out" the village.[2] On 23 October 2003, he was apprehended by the United Nations and surrendered to the Congolese authorities, who charged him in connection with the killing of another rebel.[3] He was subsequently acquitted and released.[3] On 1 November 2005, a United Nations Security Council committee imposed a travel ban and asset freeze on him for violating an arms embargo.[7] In August 2008, Ngudjolo signed a peace deal with the Congolese government on behalf of the MRC.[3] In December 2008, he was appointed a colonel in the DRC army as part of the peace process.[3] International Criminal Court proceedingsOn 6 July 2007, a Pre-Trial Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) found that there were reasonable grounds to believe that Ngudjolo bore individual criminal responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the Bogoro attack, and issued a sealed warrant for his arrest.[1] He was charged with six counts of war crimes (willful killing; inhuman treatment or cruel treatment; using children under the age of fifteen years to participate actively in hostilities; sexual slavery; intentionally directing attacks against civilians; and pillaging) and three counts of crimes against humanity (murder, inhumane acts and sexual slavery).[1] On 6 February 2008, the Congolese authorities arrested him and surrendered him to the ICC.[2] The following day, he was flown to the ICC's detention centre in The Hague.[2] Ngudjolo was the third suspect surrendered to the ICC since its establishment in 2002.[2] He was tried jointly with Germain Katanga, who is also charged with directing the Bogoro attack;[8] the hearing to confirm the charges against the two men began on 27 June 2008.[9] Ngudjolo's lawyer has argued that the case should have been inadmissible since Ngudjolo has already been tried for the crimes in question.[10] The trial began on 24 November 2009, and concluded on 23 May 2012.[35] On 21 November, the charges against Katanga were separated.[11] A controversial verdict of not guilty was announced on 17 December.[37] According to Judge Bruno Cotte, prosecutors had "not proved beyond reasonable doubt [that] Ngudjolo was responsible" for war crimes, and evidence presented had been "too contradictory and too hazy."[6] Cotte ordered Ngudjolo to be released, denying the prosecution's request that he remain in ICC custody, though it was not immediately clear where he would go, as he is still subject to a United Nations travel ban.[6][37] Prosecutors say they will appeal the decision, though experts deem it unlikely the ICC's verdict will be overruled, as appeals do not permit new evidence to be submitted.[37] According to Ngudjolo's lawyer, Jean-Pierre Kilenda Kakengi Basila, "[a]ny other verdict would have astonished us. Judges have shown that this is a court that applies the law."[12] However, the ICC's verdict was met with dismay from various observatory groups; Human Rights Watch said that it "leaves the victims of Bogoro and other massacres by his forces without justice for their suffering."[13] The Ituri human rights group Equitas said via a spokesperson that "[t]he people trusted the International Criminal Court more than our national courts. After this decision, for those who were victims of this, there is a feeling of disappointment. The victims feel forgotten, abandoned by international justice."[14] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 International Criminal Court (6 July 2007). {{cite web|url=http://www.icc-cpi.int/library/cases/ICC-01-04-02-07-1-tENG.pdf |title=Warrant of arrest for Mathieu Ngudjolo Chui |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080625052409/http://www.icc-cpi.int/library/cases/ICC-01-04-02-07-1-tENG.pdf |archivedate=25 June 2008 |df= }} {{small|(208 KB)}}.
