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.
