The ICC should FOCUS their searchlight on the Evil Asshanthies BARBARISM culture of burying innocent people alive with their death chiefs. That evil culture is nothing than 'man inhumanity to man' and the whole world looked the other way whilst this evil Assanthies culture continue unchecked. ICC over to you. Start the investigation of that barbaric culture and save humanity from that PRIMITIVE AND STONE AGE practice by the Asshantis. I hope that STUPID AND DEMENTED and HATEFUL OSEI TAWIAH, is listening. The time of reckoning is coming soon. That barbarism culture of Asshanties should STOP NOW.

Yet the so call ICC can not go after the real criminals and instead chasing African leaders. The solution to this is very simple, Africa must come out of this criminal organization as a first step to its real independent and later leave the other useless organization the UN.

Bush and Blair committed a giant war crime by invading Irac based on little information and without hard evidence. The fact that no nuclear nor chemical weapons were found is enough proof by itself. Hypocrite ex colonial masters nations like the UK and France are no better, continuing French interventions and meddling in West-Africa qualifies to bring them to the ICC. If the result of democracy in Mali, Egypt and other nations doesn't suit you so be it, it is what the people choose themselves. my advice start ACC a.s.a.p. and give Africans and African Leaders a fair trial in Africa.

I am really amazed that Ghana should tow the line of others regarding the trial of the Kenyan leaders at the ICC. Are we so bankrupt as a nation not to realize that the Kenyan leaders are using the AU to escape justice? Didn't our own Kofi Annan mediate in the crisis when the going was tough? Why are we doffing our hearts for these insensitive president and vice presidents? The arguments of ICC targeting African leaders is neither here nor there. Why wasn't Raila Odinga targeted? It's because he committed no crime. If Uhuru Kenyatta is genuine and respects the rights of Kenyans then he should not hide behind the AU to escape justice. After all, he is innocent until proven otherwise by the court so why should he fear and rally bankrupt African leaders to his support. Go and answer for the crimes you engineered with Ruto. Shame on Ghana. The Mahama led government got the opportunity to let the world know its position against political impunity but they have failed in just joining the very unpopular chorus of the AU bandwagon.

Poor criminals get punishment for their crime but the rich go free all who attended the meeting are just like the kanyata wicked kilers.
These people MUST face trial now.God created all human beings the same.The atrocities committed on innocent Kenyans are unpardonable.They are not better than those who suffered from their atrocities.
If they claim innocence, ...

There are western monsters who have killed millions of people and are walking free.
Very true.If they cannot try western butchers for deaths of thousands of innocent Iraqis they should leave Mr Kenyatta alone.Western hypocrisy at its best.
If the ICC have the power, and they think they are acting fairly, they should invite George Bush and Tony Blair, to answerfor thereasonfor the Iraqi war, They made the worls to believe Saddam Hussein was eveil and had weapons ...

YES. AFRICA MUST UNITE TO FIGHT THIS OPPRESSION. LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN SYRIA. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE LOOSING THEIR LIVES INCLUDING INNOCENT CHILDREN. WHAT HAS ICC DONE ABOUT THAT? AFRICA IS ALWAYS THE EASY TARGET.
They cannot get the Syria President now for trial else they will do that, okay.
The ICC does not target African leaders but rather goes after people in high positions and who use these positions to kill, torture, maim and foment inter-tribal conflcts. So long as the AU does not proscribe and prosecute th ...

Why won't African leaders back their colleagues because birds of the same feathers flock together. Their time is up and just as the Nazis were tried so shall it be. Shameless leaders
As long as major countries who think they can rule the world (US, Russia and China) are not part of ICC why should African countries be part. Why doesn't the AU starts it own African Criminal Court and stops sending suspects ...

peak for our country! The AU, as a group,that sponsored Kofi Annan`s mission into Kenya has now spoken;let him come out disassociate himself from this wise and progressive stand!
If ghana does not have the stomach to try this murderer, it should invite the ICC to investigate the killings that occurred during the AFRC/PNDC regime..
Once again our African leaders have shown how stupid they are. Why did they sign to join ICC and now turn around to back those criminals who lead the killings of thousands of Kenyans. If they've got nothing to hide, let them ...
