    Kenya Court has disregarded the African Union (last November= Albashir) - Now it had to taste its adulation to the Westerns= The same recompose for Pakistan after Bin Laden death (24 soldiers killed). Of course this didnot affect my support to kenyan citizens for whom we hope tolerance , co-existance and national harmony - And still i see this ICC targeting mainly Africans describing them as sauvage which confirm the western's superiority look towards us forgotten their own WWI and WW11 , which are mostly just inter-European wars.
