2 Africans on shortlist to lead International Criminal Court

 Fatou Bensouda and Mohamed Chande Othman

The two Africans are: Fatou Bensouda, a Gambian woman, who is a currently deputy prosecutor at the top war crimes tribunal and Mohamed Chande Othman, who is currently the chief justice of Tanzania.

The two Africans plus two others (from Britain and Canada) are on a shortlist to replace the current chief prosecutor of the ICC, Luis Moreno-Ocampo from Argentina whose term at the ICC is due to expire in mid-2012.

Trust the white man to use black people as a front to do their dirty deeds. International criminal court? When are they ever going to drag Israeli leaders for the hundreds of attricities against Palestine? When are they going to prosecute USA, USA and EU for the people they slaughter in Middle East and Africa in their quest for free and cheap oil? When is the Chinese government going to be jailed for Human Rights violations? The people ever brought before the so called are mainly black Africans. The oyinbos ever dragged their are low level oyinbos from low level white countries. The court will eventually lock up more black people than white people. Equality should mean that oyinbos, especially Isreal, USA, China and UK should not be allowed to veto and bully their way out of being prosecuted by the International Criminal Court. Black people are NOT the biggest international criminals.
