 Read Lubanga Chronicle #43 It´s 7.30 in the morning and in a matter of minutes, the ICC delegation will hop on to a UN helicopter and be airlifted to Zumbe, the first leg of the Prosecutor’s visit to the affected communities of the DRC. Zumbe village is part of the Lendu groupement Bedu-Ezekele, which was attacked several times between January 2001 and March 2003. It was well known as one of the headquarters of the Lendu militia, and therefore suffered from repeated and intense assaults. But Zumbe is also the village of Matthew Ngudjolo, a militia commander who allegedly led an attack against the village of “Bogoro”and who is now awaiting trial in the Dutch prison of Scheveningen.
