For me I don't even see why the cases should be there in the first place. The very fact that majority of those affected voted in favor of the accused means they had forgiven them...Ni nyinyi mnawashwa...Wao wako poa. If they took time to think and still thought crimes were committed against them, they would have voted differently. How can the accused be the judge? Let us stop this wastage of funds of commuting to and fro Hague and instead see how school children will be provided with laptops.
...Swala nyeti...Hoping that the case will be concluded in the next 8 or so years (Uhuru will still be the president before he hands over to Ruto!!!...No sitting President in Africa has ever lost an election...And we don't want Kenya to be the first example!)and he is given whatever sentence, do yo think he will take a flight the next day and present himself in Hague to start serving that sentence? Go tell that to the birds!!!.
...I fully support the African union in calling for the termination of this nonsense!
Who was most affected by PEV? The living? The dead? Adults? Children? Kenyans, Africans?
I don't think one can show that most of the afflicted even voted.
Will Africa's withdrawal from the ICC save the President and his Deputy? Or rather, what are we solving now?
The laws of nature don't respect titles, and while we may withdraw from the ICC, the effects of our actions, our history, will still be with us.
Assad may not be taken to the Hague, but does this mean all will be well with him? I doubt it.
I suspect that Africa's withdrawal from the ICC will be the end of freedom for all of us. Why? The motif will be one of cover ups and silence and towing the line. There will be no space for dialogue.
