Gaddafi case still pending at the Arusha Court

A case against former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi still awaits decision of judges at the Arusha-based African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights.

Late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi

Commenting on the case, Mr Jean-Pierre Uwanone, the AfCHPR Communications Officer put the records right here saying the slain Libyan president wasn’t summoned at the Arusha Court during his lifetime.

“The statement would rather be as follows: A case was brought to the African Court (in Arusha) by the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, based in the Gambian capital of Banjul. The case was against Libya.”

“Officially the case is formulated as follows: Application No 004/2011 – African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights versus Great Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya,” revealed Mr Uwanone.

The African Court’s spokesperson explained further that the case against Libya was still pending at the Arusha Chambers of the AfCHPR in Majengo area.“As the case is still pending before the Court waiting for the Decision of the Judges, I cannot discuss its content,” said Mr Uwanone.

The legal action against Gaddafi’s regime was initiated by the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights in 2011.The court documents indicate that the commission has received “successive complaints against Libya.” Peaceful demonstrations in the Libyan cities of Benghazi, al-Baida, Ajdabiya, Zawiya and Derna were “violently suppressed by security forces” who “opened fire at random” on 19 February 2011, the commission alleges.

It also accused the late President Gaddafi’s forces of “excessive use of heavy weapons and machine guns against the population, including targeted aerial bombing,” which amount to “serious violations” of the right to life, freedom of expression and freedom of assembly.

MBINU ZA KUMFIKISHA MWANAMKE MWENYE MAKALIO MAKUBWA KILELENI KWA HARAKA

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea. Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”. Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja. Lakini kwa nini basi baadhi yao tu ndio wafike kileleni na wengine was...

Mushikiwabo to UN: Enhance civilian protection

By Eugene Kwibuka Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to invest more energy in the prevention of conflicts for better protection of civilians living in conflict-torn areas. Rwanda’s Foreign minister, Louise Mushikiwabo Louise Mushikiwabo made the call during an open debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflict which the UNSC held in New York on Tuesday. “Rwanda’s core message today is that enhancing the protection of civilians in armed conflict requires action before a conflict starts. The proliferation of non-state armed groups makes civilian protection both more urgent, and harder to achieve,” she said. For better protection of civilians in armed-conflict areas, the minister emphasised the need to increase investments in professionalising the military and police forces through adequate training. “Only when the leadership of armed forces shares the international...
