Chad’s ICC exit plans raise concerns over Sudan war crimes probes

Last July, Chad announced plans to withdraw from the International Criminal Court, accusing it of inefficiency and of disproportionately targeting African nations. The decision could complicate future investigations into alleged war crimes linked to the conflict in neighbouring Sudan, particularly as ICC investigators engage with Sudanese refugees sheltering in eastern Chad. Despite the political headwinds, humanitarian organisations remain on the ground, supporting those displaced by the crisis, as FRANCE 24’s Harold Girard reports.

Ukraine hits Russian refinery as Starlink satellite services are restored

Ukraine's Starlink and Starshield satellite services — critical tools in its war against Russia that were unexpectedly throttled this week — have been restored to full capacity, a Ukrainian official tells Axios.The official also said that Ukraine conducted a strike overnight against a Russian oil refinery — defying President Trump's demand that it stop hitting those facilities.Why it matters: The twin developments further strained the U.S.-Ukraine relationship, as the war with Russia drags on and the Trump administration sided with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week by lifting sanctions on Russian oil sales.State of play: The move angered Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky responded by calling it "a weak decision" and a "gift to Putin." Trump then called for Ukraine to elect a new president.The crisis intensified this week when Elon Musk's SpaceX restricted service of Starlink — a satellite service used for defensive purposes in battle — while Starshield, a tool used for offensive war operations that is controlled by the U.S. government, was also slowed.After more than a day, the services were restored. Ukraine, meanwhile, fired on a Russian oil refinery, which U.S. officials are unlikely to look kindly upon. The Ukrainian official said the country resumed strikes because Russia continued to hit Ukrainian energy infrastructure, despite Trump announcing that the two sides had agreed to a ceasefire.That declaration came as a surprise to Zelensky.The bottom line: It's still unclear to many inside the Trump administration and the Ukrainian government whether Trump ordered the satellite restrictions or not.
