Response to ‘Forget the ICC: Let Africa revive its traditional justice systems’

Let's say no to impunity and start taking responsibility for our acts, writes Kennedy Akumu.

I agree partially with your views, but appreciate the intellectual thrust. However, we need to ask ourselves as Africans hard questions and be true to ourselves. We have watched over the decades as our dear leaders become vampires and almost rendering generations extinct like dinosaurs, this all with IMPUNITY.

Second these leaders if they had the balls should have not ratified or acceded to the Rome Statute, at least none has come out to say they were forced.

When Rwanda Genocide occurred we all said never again. We watch as hundreds of women are raped in DRC, we watch in Zimbabwe as over 20,000 Ndebeles were allegedly killed for being Ndebeles...the list is endless, but it has to be put to an end.

NO to Impunity, lets stop seeing double and ghosts and start taking responsibility for our acts!
