THE RENEWED FACEOFF BETWEEN ICC AND CORRUPT AFRICAN LEADERS...

"If you cannot serve the time,don't commit the crime"

Obviously,these corrupt African leaders are merely being evasive and paranoid due to their excesses and malfeasance while in government.As the leaders of African countries that are signatories to ICC,however for no just reason now opting to quit the said International Criminal Court which indeed are performing its oversight jurisdiction to tame war criminals and corruption across the world,I suggest that these deviant African leaders should also withdraw their membership from all international donor bodies that they all frequently run to when in need to beg for grant and aide,since they are running away from international law enforcement agencies,in the same vein they should forfeit all benefits accrued from international donor agencies.As such move will perhaps guarantee them that absolute independence.You cannot be feasting on others,yet expect absolute independence of them.All relationship ought to be mutual to be fair.But,in the case of Africa it is so dependent on other progressive continents to the point her leaders have completely lacked initiative and bearing in all ramifications.I rest my case here,the world is a global village,therefore African leaders must abide by the international law and best practices to get things right.And let it be known that ICC is there to protect the citizens of member nations,especially where the indigenous judiciary is mere appendage to the corrupt system.It is painful to note that African leaders don't create wealth but squander wealth copiously.I guess we want this flagrant graft and impunity to be tackled squarely,and have such insanity ended soon.
