Good decision Botswana. Africa leaders like double standards. When its the young D.J. they criticise. When its Mugabe or Bashir, they applaud and give excuses. With Botswana there is always consistency whether its Mugabe, the young D.J. or Bashir. May be one day these guys will see where Botswana is comming from. I know that some will argue that its imperialism, the West and so forth. What people should note is that Sudaneese who were killed are Africans and were killed by Africans. NOT KILLED BY AMERICA OR BRITAIN.

Moks, I noticed that in your vengency for Sudanese President Al-Bashire and President Mugabe, you left out former President Bush and Prime Minister Blair who are responsible for killing millions of Iraq's under a pretense of war against terrorism. This kind of selectivity about who ICC prosecutes is exactly why most Africans now oppose ICC. It has become a stoog of guilty conscience Europeans and wrong doers like the the USA. They are all trying to prosecute African leaders! what about the Nazism, how about the racists murderes in South Africa, by the way still at large. former PM Bothe of South Africa was a murderer of black people, yet no calls from the ICC. African Union is right to reject the ever intrusive ICC. Muarna Kaddify is right and a vote of African union member agree with him. Botswana is free to do as it chooses, alas the majority also say lets stop this foolish bastard ICC.

Moks;

What a stupid decision by Botswana! This is like all the other decisions they have made against the majority. They are only isolating themselves from the rest of Africa. Only time will tell! Botswana thinks things will remain the way they are for ever. What they do not know and do not realize is that they are just being used by imperialists to demonize other African leaders and countries.

Not so long ago Phendu Skelemani called for the bombing of Zimbabwe because of cholera. Not so long ago Skelemani called for the closure of all our borders to starve and kill innocent men, women and children in Zimbabwe. Not so long ago the same junta in Botswana connived with the MDC to train bandits which, if the scheme had not been exposed, could have been used to invade our country and we all know what happens if you start an insurgency - it will never stop, it destroys and kills innocent people.

Angola and Mozambique both suffered sixteen years of civil war each, which time they could and should have used to develop their countries and improve the lives of their peoples. But because of such foolishness and such stupidity as is being displayed by Botswana, the peoples of the two countries are some of the poorest on the continent and yet the countries are some of the richest on the continent.

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the President of Liberia, is today being asked to resign and face prosecution for her role in the civil war in that country. She never imaged that this would happen as she went around the world denouncing other leaders including my own, President R.G. Mugabe. She believed herself to be invincible, she is not and the curtains are now coming down on her.

Today she has to make a choice of whether to ignore the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), which she appointed, in which case she will show the whole world that she does not respect the rule of law – on which platform she fought during the elections that resulted in her winning the Presidency. Alternatively she could comply and go to the ICC in The Hague where her colleague, Charles Taylor is currently languishing in jail, at her behest. The choice is hers and hers alone.

Botswana should realize that things will one day change and when that happens they will need the assistance and support (morally, diplomatically, materially and what have you) of the countries they are denouncing and demonizing. No country can ever stand on its own; ignoring neighbors because of filthy lucre from former colonial masters in the west. In fact Botswana can be likened to a crawling baby when it comes to world politics - it is stillborn.

Not so long ago Botswana had a land/border dispute with Namibia which threatened to push the two countries to war. Had it not been for SADC, the two countries would still be fighting by now or Botswana would have long been overrun by Namibia - which was more than likely. As a region we mediated between the two countries and averted war which was not as a result of Botswana's wit or cleverness.

Botswana has forgotten all that for the love of filthy lucre from imperialists. In my Shona language we say 'Chara chimwe hachi chwanye inda' (One thumb cannot kill fleas). 'Zano ndega akasiya jira mumasese. Ndamba kuudzwa akaonekwa nembonje pahuma' (Self-advice resulted in the person getting unnecessarily injured). If you stand with and by your brothers they will stand with you in your time of need - they will warn you when you are getting too close to an angry puff udder, or a hungry lion.

It is clear for everyone, including Botswana, to see that the ICC is a racist institution meant to punish Africans for daring to cut ties with imperialists, for daring to refuse to be dictated to by former colonizers and for daring to want to solve their own problems without the help or interference of imperialists.

Botswana is thus, idiotically, stupidly and foolishly putting itself on the spotlight and all countries in Africa are just waiting for that day when anything bad happens, ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING, and they will tell Ian Khama to solve the problems own his own.

It is unimaginable today to think of what could happen to a peaceful, stable, and “economically” sound country and to a much taunted "democracy" like Botswana. But, but, but ANYTHING can happen any time and when that happens we in Zimbabwe will NOT call for the bombing of the innocent Batswana but will remind the unelected and unelectable junta in Botswana, especially Khama and Skelemani, of what they are doing and saying.

In 1980 we reminded Zambia of what they did to and said about us but the only good thing is that we said it in so nice words and so diplomatically that they did not realize what we were reminding them and that cemented our relationship up to this day - which good relations were about to be disturbed by Levy Mwanawasa, who also connived with the British against us and was doing and saying things that amounted to declaration of war. We are only too happy he did not succeed just as Khama also failed and will continue to fail.

African countries can not stand alone or help themselves. Botswana does not need other African countries, they are backward and still playing the blame game. No one has stopped the terrible atrocities in Darfur, instead tax payers like me in America are sending their hard earned money to feed those poor children, and try to at least lobby to stop the killings by those ARABS!!! Rapist are justified in Africa, you should be castrated and burned. Western countries are the least of your problem. I just wish the Western countries will stop funding such bullshit.

Moks They do not see Where Bots is coming from because they have such attitudes AND BIG GOBS

I am behind Botswana on this one. How many people died and got raped in Sudan, and yet nobody is being held accountable! African leaders need to have a higher standard than the West. If we keep saying look at the US look at the UK, they have also violated human rights, we would never progress. The fact that someone else is doing wrong does not mean we should also do wrong.

Dear All

The president of Botswana is the right man in Africa who stood with the suffering people of Sudan. The ICC must be supported by all heads of state or presidents/prime ministers of African countries. What is taking place in Sudan and Darfur at the moment is beyond what words can tell. There are records of all the evils being committed againt the innocent, marginalized in Sudan and the people of Darfur in particular. It is that may be the oppress may have no chance of presenting their grieveances to icc; but Ocampo hsa come to their rescue (God bless him); yet you African leaders go against the betrayed. It is shameful for some of these leaders to gang themselves against the mistreated and instead stood up firmly in support of a world criminal. May those leaders be reminded of the African saying that: If your neighbours house is burning and you stand akimbo thinking it is none of your concern, the next to burn will be your house, do you then expect your neighbours also to stand akimbo as it may also not be their concern to put the fire off from your burnng house! Watch out most of you are very corrupt and the day wil come when your on citizens will be the ones handing you to the ICC.

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.

[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.
