Alex Bell continues to write in her own anglo whiteness. However, the Libyan proposal is the right to one! Africa warned and told the ICC to postphoned thier indicating of Bashir, alas these non-elected judges at ICC decided to go ahead anyway because they are westerners! That decision to go ahead in indicatement was wrong and caused untold suffering and a pullout by aid organizations. I too am a strong defender of human rights, but the ICC has became a bully towards Africa.

Why not indicate George W. Bush, whose gov't caused the death of over a million people, most innocent. Now that we do know that Saddam did not have mass weapons of destruction, I challenge the ICC to bring former President Bush to court. That would set a better example. And how how about former British Prime Minister Blair? Another idiot, who lied to the UN about weapons of mass destruction. AU must look out for their own interests!!

Phiri I agree with you on the indictment of Bush, he is a candidate for the ICC and is no longer a sitting president, so it should be a lot easier to arrest him for the millions of innocent people butchered in Iraq, and you mentioned another culprit who is no longer a sitting head of State, that Blair. There is evidence they lied to the international community about weapons of mass destruction and even acted against the UN. Obama is doing the same and he should know he is another candidate for ICC. So if it wants credibility back, they should move in and try Bush and Blair, then the rest of the internaional community will respect them and see that they are not trying to police the east and the south.

TD.

A couple of points. Bush did not kill millions in Iraq. The great majority of deaths was as a result of sectarian violence and suicide killings by al-qaeda. You seem to keep pretty quiet about these. ARe you Al-Qaeda? For the record, it was Bush who was trying to prevent these deaths by keeping his troops there.

Secondly, Obama has actually been withdrawing the troops from Iraq, if you hadnt noticed.

I suggest you begin to educate yourself before making such rediculous points.

Are you not embarassed to defend Bush for lying to the whole world, went against UN resolutions and used bombs to kill innocent people. You will do anything to defend these Western leaders for the atrocities, even if its a shame. Bush, Blair and of late Obama are prime candidates for the ICC in addition to some of the African leaders but do not expose you bias by defending these war mongers.

I'm not defending Bush's actions in iraq, but you grossly over exagerate them by stating that Bush is responsible for over a million deaths.... are you Al Qaeda? You didnt answer my question. You seem to not be concerned by the innocents murdered by these cowards, when al qaeda is by far the most responsible for the deaths of innocents in Iraq.

As for Obama.. he's actually taken the troops out of Iraq! Idiot!

Awt, that is your problem if you do not have facts, you resort to name calling. Your statistics are very wrong, Bush killed much more people in Iraq than AlQEDA or whatever you call it. I want to you to say it that Bush killed innocent people. If you wake up and smell the coffee, you will see that Obama is taking more troops to Afghanistan and on a number of occasions, innocent people have been killed in Pakistan and Afghanistan and it is on such basis that i demand that Bush and Blair be indicted, you can name other African leaders since you are biassed, but you also have to condemn these western leaders ... which obviously you can't, what a shame for people who purpot to be holier than thou as far as democracy is concerned.

TD, it would serve you well at times to stop and think what others are saying about different situations not only about your country but about other stuff going on in other parts of the world. How many times must Awt keep telling you about the role of al - Quaeda in the deaths of Iraqis? Al-Qaeda are today's extreme terrorists that know no boundaries and will kill anyone, their motto being that the killing of bystanders and civilians is religiously justified in jihad which is religious duty of Muslims or holly war. Today, jihad is the world's foremost source of terrorism inspiring a worldwide campaign of violence and killings by self-proclaimed jihadist groups. Good examples of what they are capable of are the killings of thousands of Iraqis, bombings in England and elsewhere, the USA 9-11 attack which killed not only Americans but many persons of different nationalities including Zimbabwean, the bombing in Kenya which took the lives and injured many Kenyans. In the Sudan it is a clear example of that where they have physically attacked non-Muslims, looted their belongings and killed their males.Sudan's state sponsored jihad has caused millions of deaths ad displaced millions more making it the greatest humanitarian catastrophe of our era. You should also take note and understand that the current war in Afghanistan is against al-Qaeda who are imposing upon and terrorizing and killing the people of Afghanistan and also causing untold deaths in Pakistan as well.

Even today there is a suicide bombing with 45 deaths. Do you want me to give you a list of all the suicide bombings in Iraq and around the world over the last 10 years attributed to Al-Qaeda.

And look at what is happening in Iraq now. the US moves out and it escalates. Bush did the right thing by leaving his troops there to prevent the escalation we see today.

I see you have no problem with the deaths of innocents at the hands of Al-Qaeda. Why is this?

The FAKE ZULU wraps himself in the flag of democratic ideology: rule of law and other enigmas of the bourgeois political imagination. But, that is theory.

Practically, the FAKE ZULU is the author of "AFRICA WILL GET NOWHERE WITHOUT THE STEADY HAND OF THE WHITE MAN."

Sadly, such a xenophobic view and its see through implications are clearly repudiated by the most enlightened denizens of INVADERDLANDS. Obviously, the FAKE ZULU doesn't know that: he is behind the eighth ball.

But, beyond this comical and looney FAKE ZULU, the ICC is a new tool in INVADERLANDS' tool kit of world hegemony. The obvious counter move is the establishment of an African Court of Justice with exclusive jurisdiction over problems of justice in Africa, and unlike the unelected, unaccountable judges of the ICC, the judges of the proposed court would be elected.

OUR DEEPEST FEAR By Marianne Williamson

Our Deepest Fear Is Not That We Are Inadequate, Our Deepest Fear Is That We Are Powerful Beyond Measure. It Is Our Light , Not Our Darkness That Most Frightens Us.

We Ask Ourselves, Who Am I To Be Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented, And Fabulous ?

Actually Who Are We Not To Be ? You Are A Child Of God.

Your Playing Small Doesn’t Serve The World.

There Is Nothing Enlightened About Shrinking So That Other People Won’t Feel Insecure Around You.

We Are All Meant To Shine, As Children Do.

We Were Born To Make Manifest The Glory Of God That Is Within Us.

It’s Not Just In Some Of Us; It’s In Everyone.

And When We Let Our Own Light Shine We Unconsciously Give Other People Permission To Do The Same.

And As We Are Liberated From Our Own Fear, Our Presence Automatically Liberates Others

[NOTE – BEING AFRAID AND REFUSING TO GET INVOLVED WON’T STOP US FROM DYING. BUT BEING AFRAID CAN PREVENT US FROM LIVING]

(Nkosi Sikeleli Africa )

God bless Africa May her glory be lifted high Hear our petitions .

God bless us, Your children God we ask You to protect our nation Intervene and end all conflicts Protect us, protect our nation, our nation.

From the blue of our heaven, From the depths of our sea, Over our eternal mountain ranges, Where the cliffs give answer.

Sounds the call to come together, And united we shall stand, Let us live and strive for freedom, In South Africa our land.

President Zuma has allied himself with Mugabe before. Mugabe was behind the what is known as the “silent genocide” He actively removed white productive farmers, most of whom disappeared without a trace. This subsequently caused food shortages across the country causing even more citizens of Zimbabwe to disappear. While this was happening South Africa provided Zimbabwe with financial and political support. I can only muse as to President Zuma’s need for impunity. Is it perhaps because he or some of his fellow politicians require impunity themselves? Or could it be because it would free them to commit crimes against humanity in order to better their status. As my fellow South Africans still seem to have a hard time reconciling the past, I can only predict heinous crimes being committed against target groups, especially minority groups including the white population of the country.

It is unfortunate that the political leadership of South Africa have shown no growth with regards to human rights or ethics. As a native South African I have experienced apartheid and persecution based on skin colour and I would have hoped that those who are educated and in charge of our people, would stop these banalities against humanity and follow the example of countries such as Canada and France. Legal action should be taken against criminal action which includes those leading to the senseless deaths of innocent people. If President Mugabe is to receive impunity for the crimes he has committed in life, then all the murderers and thieves in South African jails should be set free. Is president Zuma prepared to deal with those levels of violence that would result from such a release?

My only hope is that innocent South Africans will be at the ready to defend themselves.

But you should know that Zuma is walking along the same old road that our beloved Mandela and the confused church man Tutu both walked happily, receiving great uluration and approval from the west. THis road is the one route where the oppressed and abused are brought together with their oppressors and abusers ... namely, Mandela and Apartheid murderers and members of Apartheid secret police. Remember Soweto slaughters, Sharpville killings, Steve Biko. Tutu decided it was best to forgive and forget and move forward. Apparently I agreed with Tutu. Mugabe had earlier set an example with the Rhodesian farmers and mercernaries. And yet now every one of you do not want Tsvangirai to do likewise. Why not? Of course its all about land ... mind you the rhodesians ran a racist country and they got the farms from people who did not own the land in the first place. Stolen property is stolen property. Remember the land apportionment Act.

"Crimes against humanity" is a fiction of the legal mind, which is epistemologically virgin, but practically potent.

The concept of 'humanity' is a robustly contested; hence, hanging a law on it is an act of political prejudice, not an objectively grounded act.

How many Europeans living in what some call the "West" have lately been charged with this political prejudice, dressed in the alleged majesty of the law?

Author: Moyondizvo

It is interesting to note that the world suddenly wakes up to the ills of human rights and democracy now. It is like these concepts never existed before. The West took a blind eye ever since 'civilisation' came to Africa.

Listen, our own black people disappeared during apartheid, some were confined to tanks of sulphuric acid. The secret police, BOSS etc have committed heinous crimes, Thabo Mbeki's sibling just disappeared for good, school children massacred Steve Biko , Sharperville archtects, killers of all sort, have been let scot free. How do you define human rights? None of these people have been brought before a tribunal. When does this concept really start?

Thousand were massacred in Nyadzonia in Mozambique, Chimoio, Zambia, innocent refugees women and children, escaping Rhodesians and Smith. When this genocide took place then Human rights never existed. So it is now we speak of bringing Africans to the ICC? So the world started to wake up to human rights. We only descover democracy when the blacks are attaining self determination and are being watched every step along the way.

We do not condone what African leaders have done and sure they should be hauled before the ICC or whatever but what happens or happened to killers who have exterminated the black population in southern Africa. Do not get Zuma out of context. Justice has never been carried when it came to apartheid period. Zuma is right. Certain things need to be put right before we proceed. You see, if you want to be called an icon, forget the past and preach the continued dominance of one race by the other. Bring the other Africans to condemnation, have them hanged, and let the killers of Africans run free. Zuma is right.

The crucial and crushing fact is that European driven capitalism values African lives at perhaps a buck a life. Perhaps there are traditions in INVADERLANDS that differ, but they are on the fringes of socio-political power.

Of course, there is nothing new here: the fact reported in the above paragraph is well attested in the history of human cruelty and barbarity.

New, however, is this fact: the plethora of vultures hovering the African horizon looking for "human rights violations," rights rooted in the traditions of Europe, rights that took a hike during what Karl Marx called "primitive accumulation" or, in my diction, INVADER THEFT of life and treasure.

One conclusion is obvious: European conceptual xenophobia is the one-sided foundation of the chatter of "human" rights. The so-called human rights groups, "liberals," according to the political lexicography of INVADERLANDS, dare not raise their hue and cry in the mentioned lands, for they will be met by robust criticism by "conservatives" who, to their shame, must claim the predominantly negative and heritage of INVADERS in Africa.

Obviously, the problem is that there are no African seeded structures to counter the chatter, the chatter of NGOs really---political and historical ignoramuses, really, shock troops of the European xenophobic conceptualization of the world, really.

Meanwhile, the "scholars" of Africa (scholars are meant to conserve a culture's literary tradition) prefer life in INVADERLANDS, where their contributions strengthen Europe and simultaneously weaken Africa.

You have brought some points worth noting. However, you will need to certainly authenticate some statements further. It will be critical for readers. If you really suffered under apartheid, if you lost loved ones, if you really witnessed brutality under the whiteman, you will still revisit the past and make a reflection of events taking place in our subregion. You said "Mugabe actively removed white productive farmers most whom disappeared without trace" You go further to say "This subsequently caused food shortages across the country causing even more citizens of Zimbabwe to disappear". This my friend is not true. Any change has its impact, but remember the farmers who Left Zimbabwe are accounted for.Maybe you could have done much more by qualifying the word "disappear" Some were given offer letters this month to farm. The policy has been one person one farm. A lot of our people believe that farming is the domain only for whites. This is false. Those who refused to remain under black rule emigrated to Australia SA etc, and it is just fine for them.

It is indeed sad to see Zuma behaving in this manner. For so long the basic rights of Africans have been debated, decided (or dismissed) by outsiders, so at a time when Africans can finally define these matters for themselves, to see someone like Zuma (who should know better) fail, it is disheartening. If Africans will not stand up for Africans, who will? Tyrants need to be held accountable, no matter their pedigree, and the long-suffering peoples of Africa deserve a basic standard of human treatment and dignity, no matter their citizenship.

If you want overly simplistic try this on for size (seeing as Mr Zuma likes to portray himself as a simple "man of the people" and all). Maybe he just has a guilty conscience. Maybe when he talks about forgiving leaders their crimes he's actually looking even closer to home than Mr Mugabe. Maybe he should have had his day in court on bribery and corruption charges. Sure, not nearly as sexy a crime as mass murder, but some people may still consider it a poor qualification for running a country.

Politics and racism also factor into it.

Consider that many drugs patented in the west were used in their naturally-occurring (herbal) forms, to cure ailments for centuries by natives in various parts of the world - especially in South America - before the western wealth-seekers 'discovered' them there.

Ms Ero and Mr Pigou's article has some merit, however it suffers from the fatal flaw of been somewhat simplistic...It needs to be said that the sceptism that many Africans feel towards the ICC is not fueled by some residual love for dictators,psychopaths, political barbarians and sadists. The concerns we have are informed by the inbuilt bias which defines the performance of the ICC ...Why, we ask, are only The leaders of African States and Leaders of failed states the recipient of ICC arrest warrants and trials??? Why, we ask, does Bashir of Sudan deserve an arrest warrant but not George Bush? Why Mugabe and not Cheny and Tony Blair? Could it have something to do with the fact that however heinous the crimes, however monstrous, however massive the hecatomb of corpses, if you are member of the 'Veto 5'(USA, UK, FRANCE, CHINA and RUSSIA) or their cats paw(Israel etc) you are automatically protected and granted immunity? In other words, charges of 'Crimes against Humanity' War Crimes' are only leveled against leaders from the developing world and failed states...From an African perspective this smacks of 'Judicial Imperialism'. We Africans will only take the ICC seriously when and only when it indicts and issues arrest warrants not just for the 'Bashirs of this world but also for the Bushes of this world. In short we can not look to the ICC for 'Justice' nor to rid us of the geo-political monsters which haunt our Continent, this is not to suggest that we must embrace the 'ZUMA' option, what I propose, is that we look to the 'African Solution'- The AU. We must endevour to empower and mandate the AU to bring to book African Leaders guilty of 'Crimes against Humanity' and War Crimes!!!

The issue is always the same: why should Africans care about the views of what some call the "West"?

First, the question is equivocal. There is no Western Pope; accordingly, it is not the "West" that speaks, but discrete factions in the West who have the power to make themselves heard.

Most citizens of INVADERLANDS are themselves victims of the "West" as inflected by bourgeois culture, which rules "the West," FOR NOW.

Now, I personally think that bourgeois culture sucks; significantly, if this culture is hogtied to bourgeois politics and law, you can draw your own conclusions.

The obvious problem is that 'African leaders' are bourgeois to the core; accordingly, they are in bed with the bourgeois West---junior partners, some would say.

Perhaps, Zuma is not in bed with the bourgies in the West. And, if he is, then Africa is doomed, for if South Africa is once again turned over to the bourgeoisie of the West, as Mandela did sub-rosa, then the rest of Africa is toast.

The fate of Africa in this century will be decided in South Africa; hence, Zuma is likely to be seen either as the devil or the savior. The truth, to use a hackneyed turn of phrase, is in the middle and, therefore, muddled.

Not dissimilar to the human condition, and not dissimilar to the condition of any particular human being.

Anyway, only the religious books glorify "man." History, thankfully, sings a different song: man is, at best, self-destructive, in part, and that part is bad enough.

Maybe, Nietzsche was half-right: "'man' is a bridge" to nothing---man is a crap shoot or a freak of nature or, contrary to the ideology of science, a slave of nature.

Well, if we are all slaves, why should the slaves of the bourgeoisified West lay down the rules of slavery for the slaves in Africa or, for that matter, anywhere else.

Is the bourgeoisified West an allegory of the "house negro," and the rest of the world "the field negro"? (Malcolm X)

Perhaps, Malcolm X was smarter than Nietzsche. Is it time then to "burn the house down"?

House? Whose house? Another equivocation.

And precisely so: 'ownership' is the problem with man; man wants to own things and others when he does not---in a sense more fundamental and troubling---and cannot own himself, since he cannot enslave himself.

Man, then, is a riddle. A tragic riddle.

And the bourgeoisified West boneheadedly asserts that it has solved the riddle of man?

Through the doctrine of 'democracy' or 'capitalism'?

So, AllAfrica reaches deep and digs up another bunch of racists that it can parade as lucid experts.

"His statement is embarrassing and retrogressive .." Who is embarassed? I am not. The USA does not find impunity for murderers and those who commit crimes against humanity THAT embarrassing nor retrogressive.

.

"over the last two decades a global consensus has grown that amnesty for violent crimes is morally and legally unacceptable..."

Apparently the USA was not party to that consensus. Or else the globe is determined to look the other side when non-Africans commit crimes.

A few years ago, some Belgians tried to haul Bush, Blair, Cheney, Rumsfeld to court for crimes against humanity in the invasion of Iraq and the rape, torture, and slaughter of multitudes of Iraqi. A few threats from USA and the idea was quickly dropped.

But the Europeans are full of virility when it comes to taking Africans to the ICC.

Would these experts tell us why they canprenot be suspected of racist pretensions?

.

"newly-democratised South Africa" What a joke! The whites still control the daily beat of the South Africans. They still squat on ancestral lands. They still hold onto most of the mining, manufacturing, banking, communications sectors. Democracy? Indeed, the apartheid racists still have seats set aside for them in parliament ... democracy?

.

"visions of an Africa which resists human rights and is willing to tolerate the worst forms of brutality."

Here are the experts paraded by AllAfrica who never heard of the atrocities committed by the USA at My Lai in Vietnam. Did the culprits in that orgy of torture, rape and mass slaughter pay for it? NO. Did the world, and these two clowns, insist that the president of USA must account for it? NO, they dare not.

And they have not yet heard about the atrocities committed at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, Bagram .. Have these duo of AllAfrica's experts insisted that USA's president(s) must be held accountable and pay dearly for it - in the manner of Hitler's men at Nuremberg? NO.

To trhese two racists, if the whites and the mighty do it, it is all OK.

Do these two clowns don't talk about " old and discredited .. that would reinforce outdated visions" when it comes to UK and USA? DO they really think that Africans - who they may refer to as native boys - are that naive?

.

"Zuma’s approach would protect the perpetrators and architects of violence at the expense of redress for their victims. " How about the history of USA's protection of its own who commit heinous crimes against humanity. Why should Africa's leaders be held accountable for the acts of those under their command while this duo does not advocate for the trial and conviction of America's presidents under whose command heinous crimes occur?

.

"Mugabe’s decision to leave the scene will likely depend on guarantees of impunity being extended to members of his inner circle."

Really? "Extended" by the native-land-grabbing, resource-plundering vermin who were routed in battle by Mbuya Nehanda's freedom fighters? You are kidding.

Clueless.

Maybe the Africans are no longer marching to the colonial slave-trader's drumbeat.

I told you that these two are idiots. Does Cde Mugabe and the warriors of the people's CHIMURENGA, care about the whining of foreign twerps.

.

Comfort Ero is deputy director of the Africa Program of the International Center for Transitional Justice. Piers Pigou is a senior associate at the ICTJ.

My! My!

The kind of "educated" guys who may not have been bothered by slavery a while ago.

" Zuma is Out of Step With History" The history you talk about is that of the whites commandeering the native lands, killing the natives, enslaving them and plundering Mother Africa's resources. Should Zuma and the Africans heed this history and submit themselves and their offspring meekly unto historical bondage and victimization by the European masters?

i don't doubt that most off your caucasian brethren in South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria and Uganda would dearly love that.

Africans need to hear the views of other African leaders. Museveni is a stooge of the west as shown by his activities in the DRC. With Kadafi's approach, it will be more difficult TO PROGRESSIVELY RECOLONIZE AFRICA.

Thank you president Museveni,for beating against the words of Gaddafi.Such a man who has sponsored many rebel wars in African countries,helped to destroy life and property in many countries,like Liberia and Sierra Leone,can today stand for a united Africa.

No way!Africans prefer a slow and steady regional integration.There'll be a united Africa one day,but not that under the watch of the Colonel of Libya.

These are excuses from a ruler who has divided Uganda where soon each family will have ‎and be a district on its own. Diving Uganda into tiny districts has made his small bahima ‎ethnic group appear as one of the biggest ethnic groups, while he keeps the other ‎conquered tribes divided fighting both inter- and intra-tribal wars so that he can rule for ‎eternity.‎

If India, a very culturally minded people, can forge the largest democracy, using a foreign ‎European language, out of so many ethnicities why can’t Africa do it too? There are four ‎major European languages namely, English, French, Arabic, and Portuguese, spoken in ‎Africa. Africa can adopt these languages at the top tier and translate these into others - ‎such Swahili, Amharic, Zulu, Yoruba, etc - at the lower tiers. This can easily be done ‎especially in the information age that we now live in. Software translators and ‎transcribers can easily be developed where they are nonexistent to do the translations and ‎transcriptions on the fly. But really there is already a case of Ecowas – the West African ‎economic organization – that is functioning well using French, English, and Arabic.‎

And to the point of gradualism based on regionalism: to be honest the so-called regional ‎entities haven’t been that successful as they haven’t moved beyond being talking shops.‎

What is happening here is that Museveni is scared of him and his small ethnicity ‎becoming irrelevant in the larger context of the United States of Africa. It doesn’t help ‎him especially when his ambition of becoming the first East African President is fading ‎away rather quickly.‎

In the original text he quotes the break up of the former Soviet Union as one of the ‎excuses of not forming a united Africa or especially fast trucking it, forgetting the Soviet ‎Union was forged through brute force of military conquest. To the contrary African ‎Union is being forged through consultation that results in an agreed working constitution.‎

The key issues is that Africa has no record of respecting constitutions, so that even if a ‎constitutional framework were mutually drawn up there is likely to be, rather than not, ‎many mad dictators on the ready to violate it. ‎

Gaddafi, Jumping the boat will not be the answer for Africa. The African process of united Africa will require a gradual steps. I agreed with Museveni 100%. Even though, many African welcome the idea of United Africa, I think the process is still far away because of the confused state of some african nations. Jumping the boat will bring Gaddafi to power and serious corrupt practices will push us into more instability.

Some of us just want the continent to be a little mature( after Gaddafi) for this process to start. We hope Gaddafi will understand instead of pushing his way.

FAMILIES LINE UP FOR MASONIC CHILD ID PROGRAM ! UNCLE BEAST WANTS YOU !!!

[http://www.infowars.com/families-line-up-for-masonic-child-id-program/ ]

In his piece entitled “ White Collar War Crimes, Black African Fall Guys,”

investigative journalist Keith Snow writes:

First note that the ICC can now be viewed as a tool of hegemonic U.S. foreign policy,

where the weapons deployed by the U.S. and its allies include the accusations of, and

indictments for, human rights violations, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

To understand this, we can ask WHY NO WHITE MAN HAS YET BEEN CHARGED

with these or other offenses at the ICC (International Criminal Court) which now holds

five black African warlords and seeks to incarcerate and bring to trial another black man,

also an Arab, Omar Bashir.

Why hasn’t George W. Bush been indicted ? Or what about Donald Rumsfeld ?

Dick Cheney? Henry Kissinger? Ehud Olmert? Tony Blair?

The sad fact is that the International Criminal Court has become terribly

politicized, as has the entire international justice apparatus.

The ICC has issued indictments, for the first time in history, against a sitting head of

state. Meanwhile, according to Snow, an Israeli weapons dealer, also a reputed Mossad

operative, is revealed to be shipping weapons into Sudan with Pentagon support.

And Belgium changed its law rather than prosecute Ariel Sharon for war crimes.

The double standard cries out to us.

One country in the West, however, increasingly stands out as a place where

justice can be found?and that is Spain. With its landmark indictment of

Pinochet and its current consideration of Israeli war crimes in Lebanon and

U.S. torture in Guantanamo, we increasingly look to the Spanish Courts with

hope. It was the Spanish courts that returned indictments against Rwandan

soldiers for genocide even as the world coddles U.S. proxy Rwanda and its

leader, Paul Kagame.

The below email sent to the ICC expresses how deeply I feel betrayed by the decision on Bashir taken at the AU summit in Libya.

"PLEASE DO NOT LET BASHIR OFF THE HOOK

I pray in the name of God, that you do not allow yourselves to be influenced by the nonsensical decision taken by our so-called African leaders at the AU summit. If there was any need for evidence that our leaders are more concerned about themselves than the people they lead, then this is it.

I do not understand how, in a continent in which probably more than 90% of the people are black Africans, our so-called leaders can brazenly and blatantly condone the indiscriminate killing of black people that went on (and is still going on) in Darfur. This stupid decision by these selfish people is a disgrace and probably shows (I am not sure) that we are genetically inferior. This is a SAD SAD day, in which these terribly selfish clowns have made all Africans look like fools.

I implore you to please turn on the pressure on Bashir rather than listen to what the African leaders have to say. Bashir cannot just kill black people like flies, just because they took up arms to end discrimination against them.

I used to work as a local staff member for the UN in a country in West Africa, that itself saw destruction by some drug-crazed people at the instigation of leaders like Bashir. I saw how the presence of the UN and its various institutions gave hope to the population at their darkest hour and their time of greatest need. The UN and its organs are probably the only hope we the people of Africa now have to right the wrongs that our leaders may commit against us. Yours is a sacred duty entrusted to you my humanity. PLEASE DO NOT LET US DOWN."

What I care about is what is happening in Dafur can happen anywhere else in Africa if the leaders are ready to turn a blind eye to murder and rape. Everyone just think what if it happened in your country, your sister, mother, neice, cousin etc was raped your sons, brothers, fathers, etc killed, would you not want the man responsible for this to answer for his crime!!!!

What happens in Africa is sad. I dont agree with Museveni's prolonged stay in power. But I agree with him 100% on the issue of USA for Africa. Gaddafi said in April that he does not belive in elections, arguing instead that one party rule the best model for Africa. How ridiculous and less thoughtful is such as stand. USA of Africa is hundreds if not thousands of years away. Let Africa chew before it swallows. With Bashir, he should join Taylor at the ICC. Why not? If he is inoocent he will be aquitted. The fact that he doesnt want to go there clearly shows that he knows that he is guilty.

BY PEACE SHALL Many Be deceived (Daniel 8:25) .

DOES THE TERM PEACEKEEPERS ring a Bell ?

Ask the people in Rwanda (who survived that Peace-keeping) about the UN PEACEKEEPERS .

President Obama’s UNITED NATIONS AMBASSADOR SUSAN RICE cut her teeth on the RWANDA MASSACRE….OOOPs!!! She said.

[This inspiring poem was featuring in the movie “Coach Carter ”]

Our Deepest Fear Is Not That We Are Inadequate, Our Deepest Fear Is That We Are Powerful Beyond Measure. It Is Our Light , Not Our Darkness That Most Frightens Us.

We Ask Ourselves, Who Am I To Be Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented, And Fabulous ?

Actually Who Are We Not To Be ? You Are A Child Of God.

Your Playing Small Doesn’t Serve The World.

There Is Nothing Enlightened About Shrinking So That Other People Won’t Feel Insecure Around You.

We Are All Meant To Shine, As Children Do.

We Were Born To Make Manifest The Glory Of God That Is Within Us.

It’s Not Just In Some Of Us; It’s In Everyone.

And When We Let Our Own Light Shine We Unconsciously Give Other People Permission To Do The Same.

And As We Are Liberated From Our Own Fear, Our Presence Automatically Liberates Others

- Marianne Williamson -

[NOTE – BEING AFRAID AND REFUSING TO GET INVOLVED WON’T STOP US FROM DYING. BUT BEING AFRAID CAN PREVENT US FROM LIVING]

(Nkosi Sikeleli Africa )

God bless Africa May her glory be lifted high Hear our petitions .

God bless us, Your children God we ask You to protect our nation Intervene and end all conflicts Protect us, protect our nation, our nation.

From the blue of our heaven, From the depths of our sea, Over our eternal mountain ranges, Where the cliffs give answer.

Sounds the call to come together, And united we shall stand, Let us live and strive for freedom, In South Africa our land.

[Enoch Mankayi Sontonga]

It surprises me that of all people it is Kofi Annan,who is preaching morality and justice.It does not help the cause of the ICC or the people of Dar Fur to have someone like Annan,defending their cause.He disgraced Africa enough as Secretary General of the United Nations.
