30 October 2009
A French Appeal Court in Paris yesterday rejected the demand of the Transparency International (TI) organization for leave to open a probe in France into the estates of three African heads of state.
According to TI, the three leaders – Denis Sassou Nguesso of the Republic of Congo, Teodoro Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea and the late Omar Bongo of Gabon – have assets in France totaling 160 million euros. The group said the Bongo family alone owned some 30 luxurious houses and apartments in France.
In a joint communiqué, TI and a network of international legal practitioners, named SHERPA, termed the appeal court's decision "unfortunate" as "there is no doubt that the properties in question could not have been acquired by the salaries of the heads of state in question, and this undoubtedly leads to the presumption of misappropriation of public funds."
TI made its demand in December 2008. According to the appeal court in Paris, TI failed to prove that the suit was not based on personal or economic prejudice. The court's decision has been welcomed by legal representatives of the three leaders.
According to Patrick Maisonneuve, a legal representative of the Bongo family, "no organisation can be allowed to make decisions for the citizens of another country." He has commenced an action against TI for "defamation."

For centuries Black Africans have been exploited and exploited in the name of Islam. Then with the coming of the Portueses (so-called Christians) to Ghana around the 1440s , the so-called Christians started their exploitation.

Life Is A Game. Have Fun . Luke 18:17 - Isaiah 11:6
Upliftdarace_144 states, once again, that “… no white man has yet been charged…”, which is a prevarication of the highest degree. There have been many white men indicted, and convicted, by the ICC. As a matter of fact there is a “white man” on trial as I write this. I do not know where you obtain your news, but it must be a faulty source. As a Christian, I feel bound to correct you. Be Blessed.
150 million worth of propeerty, more than 150 bank accouunts, how much money deposited in those accounts, I wander. All stolen by african leaders. OH the white man is guilty of that as well?
Perhaps the African is too proud to accept the shameless act of it leaders and have became befensive. We Africans have to stop associating ourself as what our corrupt leaders do is what we are like.
Because an white man is guilty of genocide does't mean an african leader has the right to steal from it people. If Africans dont underrstand that they have no chance.
Faye. Thank you I completely agree with you. The reason the first indicted sitting head of state is african is because we know how horrible these so call african leaders can be. Yes yes there has been heinous crimes perpertrated against africans, but should that be reason for these afriocan leaders to threat their own with such comtempt? Enough of the blame of our dismal conditions on outsiders.. yes that;'s all true about the past, but we cannot go on dwelling in it. It takes us nowhere but distract our attentiion from these injustices metted by our own people on us. Remember most of the attrocities committed by outsiders on africans were and are facilitated by the africans themselves. How do you expect outsiders to threat africans with the dignity they deserve if their own leaders treat them with the disrespect and comtempt they do? No the problem is in the africans.. all the outsiders will do is protect theiir interest - unfportunately african leaders interests do not coincide with their people's interest. Infact I think that african leaders hate africans. how else can you explain stealing 100 of millions of dollars from people you love and investing it in some foreign country while their citizens wallow in the extreme poverty we all know!!!!?? Yes, our african leaders disrespect us and hate us. They committ mass killings on their citizens with impunity. We are tired!!!!!.. look at us!!! we are pathetic!!!
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.
