Nyie wakenya acheni kuifanya africanism kuwa sawa na kutetea maovu. Mtu anafanya mauaji ya watu, akitaka kukamatwa nyie mnasema hiyo ni anti-africanism. ..... Kumbukeni kwamba binadamu wote wana haki ya kulindwa dhidi ya uonevu na mauji ya kimbali yanayofanywa na wanasiasa Kama kina Bashir, Ruto, Uhuru, nk.
Granted there is collated interest between the Kenya Cases and the Bashir Summons to the ICC, that cannot be denied. But it is the selective application of the Rome Statutes Principle and the very evidently skewed interpretation of International Jurisprudence on the Rome Statutes in its present form of enforcement that is objectionable. By all indications today, an international crime is declared by the Political System (race) of the perpetrator.
We all know that the Victors in Conflict get to write the History of the Conflict, and this in effect is the revisionist philosophy that underlies the present definition of International Crimes - are we to believe that no one is responsible for the recent genocide perpetrated by the NATO Countries in Libya in the full glare of international Media? Has any mention been made about possible investigations and prosecution for this Genocide? Tony Blair and George Bush and cousins slaughtered over half-a-million non-combatant Iraqis in just ten years of murderous occupation of Iraq - has any mention be made anywhere of possible investigations and prosecution of these two white or their subsidiaries? The Apartheid Regime was buried in history, both its definition and the horrible crimes against humanity committed in its defense - what retribution was exacted for these 100 years of licensed de-humanization of the Africans by the whites in South Africa? Are we likely to see Obama, George Bush, Cameroun, Sarkozy interrogated in a process to press for prosecution for the ongoing genocide in Pakistan and Afghanistan?
In Kenya, after 70 of their genocidal colonial mis-rule, the white man transferred ( The British Government now have declared in a court of law in London!!) both the political self-rule and the political responsibility for their genocidal misrule to the incoming African Government, and even today shamelessly insists the British Government has no responsibility, and will not acknowledge the huge historical inhuman injustices the white man perpetuated in Kenya over the Colonial mis-rule. The list of murderous, genocidal white political systems is endless in history, even recent history. But for the Bosnia and Serb conflict, the ICC and International Justice Systems have shamelessly remained silent on White culpability in crimes against humanity, while their sanctimonious accusations against similar crimes against humanity committed by African and Arab political systems are today a mantra in all international public fora.
Like Mwalimu Nyerere has been quoted here as having said, a crime is a crime regardless of the color and tribe of the perpetrator. That unfortunately does not hold today in the enforcement of International Jurisprudence on Crimes against Humanity.
