Africa Must Set Up Own ICC To Try Europeans, Says Mugabe by Pigin1: 7:15am On Jun 21, 2015 |
Cape Town – Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, who is also the African Union (AU) chair, says Africa must establish its own International Criminal Court (ICC) which would be mandated to prosecute Western leaders who have committed crimes on the continent. According to the state- owned Chronicle newspaper , Mugabe said it was high time Africa set up a criminal court which would seek justice for "serious" war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the West, particularity during the colonial era. "They committed crimes, colonial crimes galore – the slaughter of our people and all that imprisonment... I have a case, why was I imprisoned for 11 years? We forgave them, but perhaps we’ve not done ourselves justice... You set up the ICC, we set our ICC to try Europeans, to try Mr [George] Bush and Mr [Tony] Blair," Mugabe was quoted as saying. Mugabe said the International Criminal Court was a court for Western countries, dispensing Western injustice on Africans. Mass withdrawal Mugabe said this while addressing journalists at the Harare international airport where he was seeing off his Malian counterpart Ibrahim Boubacar Keita after his three-day state visit to the southern African country. Keita concurred, adding it was "up to Africans, not Europeans or Americans to judge their leaders". Mugabe's remarks came a few days after Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir evaded an ICC arrest order by leaving early from an African Union summit that was held in Johannesburg. At the summit, Mugabe wanted a mass withdrawal of African states from the ICC. The veteran leader harshly criticised the ICC after Al- Bashir dodged his arrest, saying the international court was not wanted in Africa . "This is not the headquarters of the ICC, we do not want it in this region at all," Mugabe said. Mugabe also took a swipe at the "foreign" funded non-governmental organisations (NGOs), whom he said were angling for Al-Bashir’s arrest. m.news24.com/news24/Africa/News/Africa-must-set-up-own-ICC-to-try-Europeans-says-Mugabe-20150619 |

I have much respect for Mugabe for his extreme Africanism. If Thomas Sankara were to be alive today, he would have found a good partner in Mugabe and Africa would have been revolutionised. I support African ICC. |

Much as I don't like Mugabe, I'm with him on this one. Until ICC tries Bush and Blair, everything they do to me would just be hypocritical. 1 Like |

How funny!! Just like late Gaddafi, Mugabe will never be forgotten in Africa because of his courage and controversial nature. Much as I like Mugabe, I feel he should step down because his people are dying of his bad and sit-tight leadership. Mugabe is the most educated president in the world; 7 Bscs and 2 Mscs. #Fact. Lol |
