DAKAR (Reuters) - Former Chad president Hissene Habre, a Cold War ally of the West, was convicted on Monday of war crimes and crimes against humanity for ordering the killing and torture of thousands of political opponents during his eight-year rule. The verdict capped a 16-year battle by victims and rights campaigners to bring the former strongman to justice in Senegal, where he fled after being toppled in a 1990 coup in his impoverished central African nation. Habre, 73, was sentenced to life in prison by the Special African Chamber (CAE), a tribunal created in 2013 by Senegal and the African Union. He was also convicted of rape. After years of struggle and many setbacks on the way to justice, this verdict is as historic as it was hard-won," said U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein. "In a world scarred by a constant stream of atrocities, the ramifications of this verdict are global." Habre has refused to recognize the CAE trying him in Senegal and was at times had to be forced to appear in court, delaying proceedings. The tribunal is supported by the African Union but is part of Senegal's justice system, making it the first time in modern history that one country's domestic courts have prosecuted the former leader of another country on rights charges. Other such cases have been tried by international tribunals The case centered on whether Habre, who was feted at the White House in 1987 by President Ronald Reagan after expelling Libyan forces from Chad, ordered the large-scale assassination and torture of political opponents and ethnic rivals. A 1992 Chadian Truth Commission accused Habre's government of up to 40,000 political murders as well as systematic torture, mostly by his intelligence police, the Documentation and Security Directorate (DDS). "NEVER AGAIN" Habre's conviction for these horrific crimes after 25 years is a huge victory for his Chadian victims," said Reed Brody, a researcher with Human Rights Watch, who helped investigate the crimes. "The verdict sends a powerful message that the days when tyrants could brutalize their people, pillage their treasury and escape abroad to a life of luxury are coming to an end." Habre's lawyers now have two weeks to launch an appeal. The trial was seen as a boost for African countries who say they should be free to charge their own, at a time of growing criticism of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague for indicting only Africans "We are proud that this trial took place on African soil. Never this type of terror again," said Clement Abaifouta, president of the Chadian Victims’ Association (AVCRP), whose aim was to bring Habre to justice http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN0YL1DH

Trailblazer1: Dear president Muhammadu Buhari, I would like to congratulate you once more on your victory during the last presidential election. Opportunity they say, comes but once. But not for you because now you have a second chance at destiny. Take the bull by the horn and forever be a hero or a vallian.
On your recent performance so far: i'd like to commend you for keeping your promise of CHANGE to Nigerians. Every fabric of Nigeria can attest to the effect of CHANGE you have brought upon us. The prices of both capital and consumer goods has sky rocket but its a pity that they didnt take salaries along with them.
I want to sincerely thank you for not giving the wailing wailers Electricity, Fuel, forex, water etc... Please kindly tell your supporters how to get these things before you have none left before 2019
Yours faithfully Trailblazer1 |
