Dont african states have a better way of dealing with its problems? Look at how africans are quickly whisked away to hague as if it was the ultimate solution to all our wrangles. George Bush et al should be paraded along with Nkunda,Bashir et al at the hague. Hague becoming a punitive tool meant for africa. Soon MK and MUGABE may join the parade and compound this view further.

One plus one does not always equal to two.

...it follows that African coutries are conspiring to withdraw from ICC. Indeed a couple of days ago Kagame suggested that Africa comes up with its own 'ICC'.

...while the US is pushing Kenya to show seriuosness in punishing planners and executors of PEV probably by sending them to the Hague some of our leaders may want to know that the US itself does not recongise jurisdiction of ICC over its own citizens.

...we are really not yet Uhuru.

@gk - That is a gigantic point.
