#ICC Office of the Prosecutor is on the ground in #Chad w/ communities who have fled widespread violence in #Darfur. The Office is investigating alleged ongoing crimes in the current hostilities. Field-based action and work w/ survivors central to effective investigations.

Canada calls on the release of President Bazoum and his reinstatement as Head of State of Niger. Respect for democracy is essential and the democratically-elected government must be reinstated immediately. We support @ecowas_cedeao's efforts to return constitutional order.
