After being convicted of war crimes by the ICC in March, he has been handed a 14 year prison sentence. At the age of 51 and having already served 6 years of the sentence, we can assume this means he will not spend the rest of his life behind bars. This is despite the fact he recruited and used child soldiers in Congo. Genuinely interested to know the reasoning behind the leniency of his sentence? Perhaps related to the fact he surrendered to the court?
