Libyan leader says ICC is “new world terrorism”
March 28, 2009 (ADDIS ABABA) – The Current chairperson of the African Union and Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi criticized today the International Criminal Court (ICC) describing it as a “new world terrorism.”
Speaking in a press conference in the AU headquarters, Gadhafi said the ICC is only targeting the former colonies, adding that the Third World is opposed to the war crimes court.
“This is the case right now. This court is against the countries colonised in the past and they want to recolonise now,” Gadhafi said. He also added “It is a practice of a new world terrorism that is not below the standard of the other terrorism.”
The Libyan leader was speaking about the ICC arrest warrant against Omer Al-Bashir who had been received in Libya this week, in a show of support to the Sudanese president.
The Libyan leader accused the ICC of impartially. He said it was not faire to focus on the Sudanese head of state while it turns blend eye to the war crimes committed in Iraq by the US army and the Israeli army in Gaza.
On March4, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for the President Omer Al-Bashir on seven counts of crimes against humanity and war crimes in Sudan’s troubled region of Darfur.
African Union and Arab League condemned the move and asked the UN Security Council to defer the ICC decision. The two regional organizations say the indictment will endanger the political stability in the country and the region and impede efforts to reach peace.
The Libyan leader also pledged to work for the resolution of Darfur conflict and Sudan Chad relations. Speaking about Darfur crisis “It is my duty to step in and try to solve this,” Gadhafi said during his first news conference as AU chairman.
On the issue of Sudan Chad relations he said “In my capacity as chairman of the African Union, we should make sure that Sudan and Chad apply this constitutive act,” Gadhafi was referring to the AU’s charter. “Any country that violates the constitutive act will be penalized.”

Libyan leader says ICC is “new world terrorism”
African will regret of the Arabs living in Africa geographical while they r out of Africa political. the Ideology of quran that “It is a sin for muslim to kill muslim and it is not a sin for muslim to kill non muslim” in this context that is how baptised muslim think if at all they are practising baptism in their religion, how can Gadafie who campaign seriouly again Bashir that, Bashir can not hold the AU seat when he have not clean his house, by that statement, he mean unimplimented CPA, Pending case of Abyei, War in Darfur,soon will be in Nuba Mountain and Blue Nile if at all South separate.
Gadafie campaign seriously that Bashir should fit the position due to his historical background of coming to the presidency in 1989, but now what happen it is the same Gadafie who is seriously defending Mr.coup’Etat.
Africa is always being fooled, if Africa don’t act seriously then the ideology behind the Arabs is just to Islamized and Arabized not just only Africa but the whole world.
My personal advise to Mr.Africa leader is to take his hand out of Sudan because because the God that they pray is more powerful then they way you guys think that u r more humble when u turn ass up rather than look up at his face, u think, that u r pleasing him but u r disappointing him beyond the limit. So I advise u to take of Gaza not sudan because fail to understand the problem of sudanese and if u want to know it much the go to Alexandria biblotheca library u will learn much about the problem in Sudan as “WHOLE”
