Kenya has signed the Rome Statute which requires participating nations to arrest persons on their soil who are wanted by the International Criminal Court. Yet a current guest in Kenya is Sudanese President Omer Al Bashir, who is indicted by the ICC for perpetrating genocide against Sudanese people in the Darfur region.
Recently Chadian President Idris Deby, also a signer of the Rome Statute, welcomed Al Bashir. It is tragic, not only for the millions of Darfuris who suffer and await justice in sordid refugee camps, but for all of Africa's people, that some of its leaders have formed a cozy Impunity Club that offers five star treatment to a perpetrator of the ultimate human crime.
