Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - http://www.democracynow.org/2013/7/2/us_backed_chadian_dictator_hissene_habre

it is always a great day when a dictator, who tortured and killed many many thousands, is finally called to justice. a great day for human rights organizations like amnesty that worked for decades to end the impunity of this tyrant.

Prof:

Thanks for this additional reading on the verdict. I am just about to go on a Skype interview to discuss the verdict and its implications for justice in Africa, as well as its impact on the continent's remaining and future tyrants. We also plan to discuss the trial of Simone Gbagbo (former first lady of Côte d'Ivoire)  by a domestic court in Côte d'Ivoire for her alleged role in the post-election violence that resulted in the deaths of more than 3,000 Ivorians and the destruction of significant amounts of property.

Thanks and stay well.

Congrats to the African Union and Senegal, in particular,  for doing what would have been impossible decades ago. Hissene Habre,  a close ally of the US during the Reagan administration,  was convicted  this week, and will serve life imprisonment. Hissane Habre's  torture tactics  would put Guantanamo to shame in a torture competition.
