Why Africa Needs the ICC
Actually Africa needs
mechanisms like the ICC more than Europe does. We have to learn from mistakes
of Europeans, they fought dirty wars for 100 years and now they seem to have
learnt something that we seem not to have learnt; the art of managing their
conflicts. It doesn't mean there are no conflicts in Europe but they have
strong mechanisms of managing them. It is unlikely that European countries will
go to war against each other any time soon. I do not mean to rule it out
either. Africa is at the stage where Europe was many years ago, we are lucky
that, at least there are mechanisms that can help us not go through what Europe
went through. Our criminals turned leaders will always lie to us, unfortunately
we have made them our conscience, they think for us, we only shout in support
but we rarely think and make choices of our own.
