Bringing An African Dictator To Justice

By NDUNG’U WAINAINA

The arrest of warlord Charles Taylor after his indictment was unsealed in June 2003 by UN-backed Sierra Leone Special Court cast a bright hope to conflict ridden Africa with dictators towering and trampling on rights of innocent citizens.

Subsequently, African leaders made a commitment through a declaration in 2000 to condemn genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in the continent and pledged to cooperate with relevant institutions in the continent and outside that are set up to prosecute perpetrators. However, the Charles Taylor case has exposed African leaders as lacking common approach in combating impunity and preserving emerging fragile peace and democracy in the continent.

I think what you published was actually very reasonable. However, what
about this? suppose you composed a catchier title?
I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your website, however what if you added a post title that makes people desire more? I mean "Bringing An African Dictator To Justice" is a little plain. You might peek at Yahoo's home page and see how they write post headlines to grab viewers to open
the links. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to
grab readers interested about what you've got to say. In my opinion, it might bring your website a little bit more interesting.
