Desmond Tutu Calls for Justice:

Nobel Peace Prize winner explains why African countries should support the International Criminal Court's indictment of Sudanese president Bashir and aid in the issuance of an arrest warrant:

African leaders argue that the court’s action will impede efforts to promote peace in Darfur. However, there can be no real peace and security until justice is enjoyed by the inhabitants of the land. There is no peace precisely because there has been no justice. As painful and inconvenient as justice may be, we have seen that the alternative — allowing accountability to fall by the wayside — is worse.

What Happened in Zimbabwe:

The Washington Post describes the campaign led by the Zimbabwe military to keep Robert Mugabe in power. According to the account, the eighty-two-year-old president was either willing to surrender power or he used the occasion to push the military to act on his behalf. Torture and murder were the key ingredients to overthrowing his opposition. The prize was continued power and wealth for the military leaders who backed him.
