Mzalendo452,
mkuu when addressing this issue Im interested to know if you are looking at the ICC from the
context of Kenya or in totality? Hili swala la 'they have not arrested any bigfish' sikuelewi. We know
the 'guests' who have an abode over there. Some of them have even died there like kina Milosovich.
So enlighten me where you are coming from with that notion so that I dont get you wrong.
In regards to this notion.... there seems to be external pressure from ICC... where is the data to
support this claim? When you use such words like "it seems" in a sentence, then those become your
opinions and they are normally taken with a grain of salt. Remember we are separating the chaff from
wheat.
In the last paragraph you bring up the issue of bashir which is crucial when looking at this issue in its
totality. Kenya is a signatory of the Rome Statute that established the ICC so the onus fell on the
KE govt to arrest Bashir and hand him over to the ICC...but guess what?Kibaki thumbed his nose at the
international community and Kenyans at large by inviting an international fugitive as a guest of the
State. So why you wanna frag the fellows at the Hague into this yet its the member states who are
signatories of the Statute, who should arrest these fugitives. ICC has no standing army nor police to
be running around the world arresting people. They rely on governments and things like the interpol.
So what Kibaki is showing us ni kwamba he will use his impunity to achieve his selfish ends even if it
means a daliance with 'wanted fugitives'....na mta do?
A couple days ago there was a discussion on BBC titled: ICC: Is Africa on Trial....staged in Kenya with
most contributors being from KE. Very interesting discussion from the folks in attendance!.. Ukipata
nafasi you can listen in the following links:
BBC - Media Centre - BBC Africa Debate
BBCSwahili.com (Swahili)
This is an interesting set of facts I want you to digest:
Ivory Coast was not a signatory of the ICC but in 2003 Gbagbo (as President)accepted the jurisdiction
of the courts over Ivory Coast. Then in 2010 while still Preso he confirmed his country's
commitmment to working with the court. Then what happened next? Outtara comes into power
and ships him straight to the Hague...talk about impaling yourself with your own sword!
Ab-Titchaz.
@Ab-Titchaz,
First, Before we delve into a long and contentious debate we have to find out what especially on the Gbagbos case, the type of event that happened in Ivory coast. The scenario there was that the magnitude of violence was escalated by leftist opposition with the help of the military N.B. and while it is was wrong for Gbagbo to continue to cling into power, the ICC did not address the massive loss of lives and incitements caused via opposition leftists and Ivorian military dissidents aided by the UN forces(majorly of french origin) of equal magnitude. Ivory coast and their politics is deeply intertwined in french politics. Also, all principles in the ICC are European forms or models of politics and very few legal considerations are actually enforced during making key decisions. That is why the ICC's integrity in apprehension and trial is questionable.
Secondly, It was wrong for the UN to allow that disputed presidential transition to degenerate into a full-scale mutiny whilst offering the opposition logistical support. That is why precisely I have reason to believe that Gaddafi Libyan case with NATO is the same scenario and are of simmilar forces. European political empires would normally bypass the legal constitution of a African nations and the rule of law. So when we are talking about Sovereignty of a country apart from the usual cases of corruption and other ills what do we mean?
PS explain if Quattaras ascension to power has any integrity based on this events?
Mzalendo452,
I beg to turn down your challenge primarily because this is not the purpose of this thread.
The reason I introduced the Ivory Coast angle was to show you the folly of how an African
State got entangled in the tentacles of the ICC when they were prior not subject to its
jurisdiction. Thats I all. I was not trying to pass judgement on the morality of the theater
of events that took place and saw the exchange of power between these two men.
Have a good day.
precisely my point, many issues and critical details are left unattended by the ICC prosecution which makes it a process that lacks credibility
If this be thy point, then kindly make reference to the Kenyan case and we can proceed from there.
Also, dont you think it is prudent for the indicted to go to the Hague and argue their case out rather
than this posturing to public opinion and whipping up tribal sentiments?
Is Kibaki really in control or has he abdicated responsibility to somebody else or people?
Kile kitamfanya Raila Odinga awe rais wa Kenya,,baada ya uchanguzi
ujao,,niyeye mwenyewe,,niyapi ambayo amewafanyia wakenya
tangu awe PM wa Kenya, almost five years ago.
Only the people of Kenya to decide who will be the next president
of this country,,all of them,,not one tribe,,not Ocampo nor the
British,,but the people of the republic of Kenya.
Hakuna popote kubaya Kenya inapo elekea,,Kule Kenya imetoka
ni kubaya zaidi na mafunzo mengi watu wakajifunza.
Kujaribu kulinganisha wakati wa 2007 na hivi sasa,,
nikujaribu kuona karibu na sikuenda hadi katika kiini
cha ambacho kilichosababisha PEV ya 2007.
Adui wakati huo,,kwa wana siasa wengi wa opposition,,
alikua Mwai Kibaki ambaye hata simama tena na
kupigania urais wa Kenya.
Sasa mambo yamebadilika na adui ya wanasiasa
wengi nchini Kenya ni Raila Odinga,mwenyew.
Makabila ambao walikua hasa wakipigana,,
wa Kikuyu na wa Kalenjin,,wakati baadaa
ya uchanguzi wa 2007,,wako pamoja sasa
kisiasa.
Kenya iko na katiba ambayo ni the main driver
na hata hivi juzi ambapo PM Raila alipojaribu
kukosoa korti,,alijikuta matatani na kulaumu
kiswahili chake.
So the lack of rule of law is what caused
the chaos of 2007.
It is advisable for Tanzanians to start minding their own business. With 82% of you people living on under $1.25 one would expect your economic issues would be on the forefront and not udaku!
Tanzania is also a signatory to the Rome Statute but all the same, please focus on your issues, wacha domo domo na udaku! :heh:
Go get'em then!Alongside the majority of Kenyans that support the ICC process, your own government and a total of 33 African states I am an embarrassment. I will go further and state a >40% dependency on the west for sustenance is barely the hallmark of your fabled break out. I rubbish the rest of your sentiments as it is obvious they are peppered with middle eastern cumin. 🙂

Hatutaruhusu kamwe shughuli zetu za kisiasa zibatilishwe na wazungu kutoka Uingereza. Wakenya watafanya shughuli zao iwe ni za kisiasa au kuendesha sera zao bila kugubikwa na kushurutishwa na wazungu na vijipeni vyao kusukumia wakenya wameze mapendekezo yao. Ndio tunaona hata watu kama marekani wanawashwa sana na hawalali usingizi wanapoona Uchina ikipaa kiuchumi. Hivi sasa Obama anatuma majeshi yake korea Kaskazini kwa madai ya uzinduzi wa roketi humo ni silaha. Wingu jeusi la ubeberu wa Kisiasa umeanza kuvuma. Waliokuwa wawindaji sasa ni wao wanawindwa huku wajinga wameerevuka. Tena isitoshe viongozi waafrika na ubinafsi wao wamebaki kuinamia serikali za magharibi ili wapate ufadhili wa fedha na mengine mengi kutoka ulaya na kawaida hiki ndicho huchangia viongozi wafisadi na wasiojali hatma ya nchi na maskini wake kueneza siasa mbaya........................................Hatutaacha kamwe Fikra za MRC ziharibu amani tumekuwa nayo tangu UHURU!
Hatutaruhusu kamwe shughuli zetu za kisiasa zibatilishwe na wazungu kutoka Uingereza.
MOD chill on the gag,lol. He is only expressing an opinion as the majority of JF members here🙂
Hahahahaha!!!!......:heh:...!!!!
Mazee you made me laugh so hard I almost peed my pants.
Did you just say the words I highlighted above?....hehehehe...morio acha utani.
...one of the Ocampo quartet said the exact same words you are saying yet his own legal counsel
was made up of 'white jungus' as you would call them. Not forgetting that the business ties this
'big family' has, is in one way or another tied to the mzungu....Do I smell a racist?...hahaha..Mzalendo
please bring another angle. Hii ya kusema wazungu sijui mbaazi na pojo...mara kunde...will not wash.
Oh before I forget, what are those Irish, British or Scottish soldiers doing in Kenya? The other day they
were fighting against each other at some hotel and one was flung out of the window? Have you ever
been to Kahawa garrison?
Mazee dont get me started on this one.
Have a Happy Easter (oops thats one of those mzungu things that the man uses to control us!...:heh:..)
Bravo Ab-Titchaz, I hope this serves him right - alafu anajifanya eti MTz, huku yuko hell bent to bash eveything TANZANIAN, would you believe IT!Nairoberry,
I believe you are barking at the wrong tree and be advised not to do it for long.
Nowhere in this thread am I talking or insinuating anything about GDP and please do
not derail this thread from the jump. I believe you are intelligent enough to see what
this thread is about and contribute appropriately.
Ishu za Arumeru peleka Jukwaa la Siasa/Chaguzi ndogo utakutana na wachangiaji kibao tu huko.
Enjoy your day.
Ab-Titchaz.
I did not mean that I am rasicst I said we will not allow any foreigner to control what is good for kenya politically, and any white man can come and stay because we do not need to be controlled. Laikipia has a heavy presence of military personnel from all over the globe especially from UK. There has been what we call bilateral military partnerships, training, and intelligence gathering especially with the British army for decades in kenya. So this is not anything new in kenya.
As per kahawa garrisons, what about it?!
