Omar al-Bashir cannot be taken crucified like Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. The AU must be bold and lead us. How is it possible that we are still subjects of the West?

We have been colonised for centuries and we are now recolonised under the guise of democracy. Africa is not even a member of UN Security Council, which is said to take decisions on the al-Bashir matter.

Pretoria must never be intimidated and tell those neo-colonial institutions such as the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the Securtiy Council that we are tired. In fact, we care less.

The PAC is against the madness by these neo-liberal colonialist institutions meant to maintain a system that we have been fighting for centuries. We applaud Pretoria for being bold enough to ignore the madness from the West institution that is targeting progressive African leaders.

Pretoria must never be apologetic and should be proud of the decisive move. We have always been against subscription for this institution because its agenda is wrong; it seeks to serve interests of the West and to maintain colonialism. Why is the ICC not prosecuting leaders from America such as George Bush?

We are proud of African states that have decided to abdicate and abandon this useless ICC.

The AU seems to be toothless and deaf. It is not doing anything to protect African leaders and countries.

We need a more revolutionary continental body.
