Kibaki AU Summit


We go to Ethiopia now where...Kenya's push for the deferral of the post election violence cases being handled by the international criminal court (ICC) got a major boost after the heads of state from member countries of the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) unanimously endorsed the position. In his plea to his colleagues, President Kibaki said immediate trials of the 6 suspects named by the ICC prosecutor would prejudice peace and reconciliation efforts in Kenya. And as Francis Gachuri reports from Addis Ababa Ethiopia, the assembly of all African Heads of State is expected to endorse a resolution on deferral of Kenyan cases, as ratified by the Council of Ministers last Friday.
