The court enjoys global jurisdiction.

Investigators will now need the authorization of the court’s judges to open a probe. Bensouda appealed for support from Nigeria’s government.

She said the army has dismissed accusations against government troops after examining them.

Boko Haram strictly opposes formal education. In 2015, Nigeria enlisted the support of neighbors Chad, Cameroon and Niger to try and defeat the group.

While the joint operations made the group lose considerable territory, they have not been able to wipe it out.

The ICC has conducted investigations in several African countries. In Sudan, Libya and Ivory Coast, former leaders were indicted for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity after the investigations.

Italy Will Not Let it Go

Italian prosecutors formally put four high-ranking members of Egypt’s security forces under investigation on Thursday over the alleged 2016 kidnapping, torture and killing of Italian doctoral research student Giulio Regeni — whose body was found on a highway in Cairo. Sergio Colaiocco, a prosecutor in Rome, Italy, told a  session of a special parliamentary commission on the slaying of Giulio Regeni.

\" As we said, the notice for the conclusion of the investigations is referred to four officers belonging to Egyptian security forces. The names are known and were published by the press. They are all included in the general category of the Egyptian security forces.\"

An Italian judge will review the evidence and decide on whether to indict and order a trial for any or all of the suspects as Italy allows trials of defendants in absentia.

In late November, Egyptian prosecutors slammed the Italian investigators pushing to try in their push to bring five police and intelligence officers to trial.

Another prosecutor in Rome, Michele Prestipino Giarritta, addressed the same commission.

\"Against only one of the five suspects, we have already filed a request for dismissal of the charges against him, because we considered that the evidence gathered against this suspect was not sufficient to usefully prosecute him. Therefore: four notices of the conclusion of the investigations, three for kidnapping, one for kidnapping and conspiring to commit aggravated assault and conspiracy to commit aggravated murder.\"

The case strained relations between Italy and Egypt, an ally it needs in the crackdown on migrant trafficking across the Mediterranean and efforts to combat terrorism.
