Is he the man who arrests African presidents or human rights violators? Thomas Lubanga, Pierre Bemba, Joseph Kony, all are not African presidents, but human rights violators!
ReplyDeleteIngekuwa bora ungetoa dondoo za hiyo interview kwa kifupi badala ya CV ya O'Campo. Mambo muhimu kutueleza yangeluwa kama suala la Rais wa Sudan kwenda kenya wakati ICC wana warrant ya kumkamata, suala la kuwashataki viongozi wa Kenya kuuwa watu baada ya uchaguzi. Kubwa zaidi KWA NINI WANAKAZANIA KUKAMATA VIONGOZI WA AFRIKA TU NA HAWAKAMATI MARAIS WA MAREKANI (BUSH NA SASA OBAMA) KWA UKIUKWAJI WA HAKI ZA BINADAMU WANAOFANYWA IRAQ NA KWA KUSAIDIA ISRAEL KUWAKANDAMIZA WAPALESTINA????????

ReplyDeletemdau mpenda africa
I think he should be arresting George Walker Bush and his father for crimes against humanity. Why is he only arresting African leaders? Is that institution there to oppress Africans? I think they should not have double standards, and to this end, a warrant for the arrest and prosecution of the two Bushes should be issued for it is way overdue.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that when it is Africans or other third world leaders that are concerned then it is crimes against humanity, but when it is American leaders then it is in the furtherance of justice or in the spirit of human rights?
Had George Bush been African, he would have long been arrested and prosecuted and probably executed by now. What he has done surpass what has been done by any African leader that I know of, and he is still at large. This is double standards, and proves that the institution is there to oppress Africans, and surprisingly Africans are doing nothing about it. If we Africans can't stand up for our rights, who will? For your info, even the UN is there to surpress third world countries, that is why there are VETOs and such things, it is just there to foster the wishes of the world's police man, and ensure the smooth implementation of it's will, much as it also help those in need sometimes.
..Israel hakuna hata kidagaa ambacho kiwahi kushtakiwa pamoja na kutumia silaha za maangamizi, hicho kimegeuka chombo cha kutishia wasiokubaliana na maslahi ya wakubwa..... na kwavile hakuna haki siku zote kitakumbwa na mitafaruku ya kutokubaliana!!
