I have been waiting for the moment to watch the unfolding Hague drama. However, to the brothers affected this seems like a nightmare that does not seem to go away. I pray that whoever they believe in will give them strength to overcome the temptations to make trivial and costly mistakes.
In Session I the world was treated with so unnatural witnesses whose evidence to the highest court under the Heavens. These witnesses were so symmetrical that their submissions were carbon copies of each other. Indeed after listening to them I thought it could have been wise if the defence applied to the court to have one person appearing twice as two different witnesses for the same suspect. It could have reduced the cost of keeping these people at a far country when they not their evidence only confirmed the fears that they had been coached on what to say and how to exonerate the suspects.
Sorry, if I sound too skeptical and cynical, am only playing the role of devil's advocate for my beloved brothers. Indeed they all concede that crimes were committed but no one want to shed some light on who, where, why the crimes were committed. In the first session the most mentioned word was 'Spontaneous'. I'm still wondering what magical word will be used by the second group of suspects. Could be retaliation, help? am still waiting for the start of the hearing.
The suspects should have now known that their evidence may not count if the plan by the ICC to set up an office in Kenya is anything to go by. Just like we say in our community when someone is drowning it is bu reflex action that they clutch on the floating logs and other useless debris. Sorry if it becomes difficult for anyone to read between the lines of the ICC intentions. The die has been cast
