ICC drops Uhuru Kenyatta charges for Kenya ethnic violence
BBC ^ | December 5, 2014 | Unattributed

Posted on 12/05/2014 6:56:58 AM PST by Seizethecarp

Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague have withdrawn charges of crimes against humanity against Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta.

He had been indicted in connection with post-election ethnic violence in 2007-08, in which 1,200 people died.

Mr Kenyatta, who had denied the charges, said he felt "vindicated".

The prosecutor's office said the Kenyan government had refused to hand over evidence vital to the case.

The prosecution repeatedly asked for more time to build its case, saying witnesses had been bribed and intimidated, and the Kenyan government had refused to hand over documents vital to the case.

Mr Kenyatta denied inciting ethnic violence following the disputed 2007 elections in order to secure victory for then-President Mwai Kibaki.

Mr Kenyatta won presidential elections in 2013, with the backing of Mr Kibaki.

*Born in 1961, became Kenya's youngest president *Son of the country's first president, Jomo Kenyatta *Heir to one of the largest fortunes in Kenya, according to Forbes magazine *Entered politics in 1990s, groomed by ex-President Daniel arap Moi *Lost presidential race in 2002 by a large margin to coalition led by Mwai Kibaki *Backed Mr Kibaki for re-election in 2007

Kenya is a snakepit! If Sheriff Arpaio’s big “Universe Shattering” evidence in two upcoming pressers proves conclusively in 2015 that Barry’s BC is forged with Congressional investigations this time and the trail points to Kenya...well the corruption in Kenya will lead nowhere, unfortunately because the politicians are such backstabbing brigands...just like in Chicago!

At least, of late, after the mall shoot-up, tour bus shoot-up and mine shoot-ups by Somali-based Al Qaeda of-shoot factions they are rabidly anti-Muslim! Barry will not be pleased...

1. When Arpaio is good and ready.
2. See #1

Politically whatever Arpaio reveals won’t gain traction until after the GOP takes control of the Senate and then only if enough Democrats decide to stage a coup against Barry so save their party.

This is happening already!

Did you see Schumer throw Obamacare under the bus last week? Holy Fleep!
