Since 2002, the International Criminal Court has prosecuted 33 cases. 32 out of those 33 have been African. Apparently no crime worthy of ICC prosecution has been committed anywhere on earth except in Africa for the past 24 years.
Now they are making noises about prosecuting the Tanzanian government for last year’s election-related violence (but not the actual instigators and culprits). This was the sort of ludicrously one-eyed decision that made Burundi, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger leave that institution, and like the rest of the continent, Tanzania will have to make a choice soon.
We will either remain voluntarily trapped within institutions built to cage and target us, or walk away and build our own fit-for-purpose institutions.
