Kenya case: 93 victims now pull out of the case while accusing ICC of denying them their right to have Lawyer Njenga Mwangi to represent them

Nairobi, Kenya: 93 Post Election Violence victims registered by the International Criminal Court (ICC) have decided to withdraw from the cases facing President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto.

They wrote a letter to The Victims and Witness office based at The Hague telling them of their decision to withdraw. In their letter they inform the office that they no longer have confidence in the process. They feel they are being taken for a ride by the prosecution. The letter reportedly is signed by The victims led by the chairman George Njoroge, a group under the banner of Amani Peace Building and Welfare Organization.

They think the prosecutor is using them as stepping-stones. The first Chief prosecutor Moreno Ocampo, they say, used them and on expiry of his contract at the ICC he got a lucrative job in the IOC - the powerful section of the Olympics drug watchdog.

Now they believe that the new Chief Prosecutor is doing the same for self-gain.

The group have accused the ICC of having not investigated their cases properly, saying they now want to live in peaceful co-existence with their neighbours. Life is back to normal now and any more problems caused by the court will not serve to bring unity in our society the group has stated.

They are saddened that the first lawyer forced on them by the ICC, Ms Sureta Chana, did not discus with the ICC what the victims had told her. Instead, she raised issues of no interest and benefit to them (the victims) when she presented the case at the ICC, they say.

“The issues that we discussed were not put forward to the court because the version that we are now hearing is different from the true position,” they said.

They are even bitter now that they have beei\n forced to accept another lawyer, not of their choice, lawyer Wilfred Nderitu. They say they do not understand why the ICC refused to grant them their wish – that they unanimously picked Nairobi Lawyer Njenga Mwangi to represent them.

They claimed that they had unanimously picked lawyer Njenga Mwangi to represent them but the court declined and picked Chana and currently Wilfred Nderitu.

The group say they have now filed their case at the High court in Kenya and will no longer participate in any trial at the ICC in the Hague. This move will complicate things for Chief Prosecutor Bensouda.

“One on One” with Mr Elvis Nwosu, Member of Oslo City Council Parliament representing the Labour Party of Norway

Mr Elvis Nwosu is a member of the Oslo City Council Parliament representing the Labour Party which is now in power in Norway led by Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.

http://www.africanpress.me/ – Mr Elvis Nwosu (left) together with the Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg during the recently concluded Labour Party Annual General Meeting (2013) held in Oslo

Mr Nwosu who is originally from Nigeria has lived in Norway for 22 years and is actively involved in politics. Recently he was re-elected to Council. He is also the leader of the Labour Party in Søndre Nordstrand region within the Oslo City Council. Nwosu is excelling in politics despite the many challenges immigrant politicians have to face due to culture, and traditions in Norway.

The country is now going to the General elections in September to elect members to the National Parliament. The Labour party has been in power for 8 years now and the Right wing parties have ganged up in this elections with the intention to dislodge them.

The Right wing parties – the Conservative party and the Party of Progress ( a radically right-wing party) are trying to put up a unified front in their effort to take over power.

Elvis speaks to African Press on his plans to change the face of the city of Oslo. He thinks the many beggars that roam Oslo streets mainly during the summer season – persons coming from Eastern European country Romania should not be allowed to engage in begging, but instead should seek normal employment.

He is also for change when it comes to prostitution that is rampant in the city. The laws that forbid prostitution which were passed some years back, according to Elvis, has helped many prostitutes to seek other avenues away from the illegal trade. Some Nigerian women who come into the country from Spain and France to engage in prostitution on a short term basis now realise that the trade is illegal and punishable by law and this is helping them to seek guidance and help from the Norwegian authorities in their efforts to quit being sex slaves. Some have their lives destroyed because they are forced into the trade by criminals who stand to gain from their prostitution.

Yemen: Living in a camp for internally displaced people has put Qasim and his family’s life on Hold

IRIN News is proud to announce the launch of a new film, A Life on Hold, which tells the story of Qasim and his family, who for the past three years have been living in a camp for internally displaced people (IDPs) in northwestern Yemen.

Years of conflict in the region between the Houthi tribe and government forces have led to the displacement of more than 300,000 civilians, who have to cope with a decline in health and educational services. Malnutrition is common in the IDPs camps, as well as in the apartments, mosques and schools where many have found shelter.

Authorities have tried to encourage the displaced to go back to their homes, but renewed clashes in 2012 actually increased the IDP numbers in the north. Extensive damage to houses and infrastructure, continuing insecurity, fear of reprisals and the lack of livelihood opportunities and basic services all serve as deterrents to return.

“One on one” with Tone Winje, The Director of The Arts Festival of North Norway

http://www.africanpress.me/ – Tone Winje, The Director of The Arts Festival of North Norway

The Arts Festival of North Norway is an annual cultural event in Harstad lasting well over a week around Midsummer organized by a foundation of the same name. Director Tone Winje, took over leadership from Birger Carlsen in 2011.

Winje tells African Press International that this year’s festival has many ingredients and she encourages Festival lovers to turn up in large numbers and enjoy the week-long event from 22nd of June ending on the 29th. The Midsummer days is also something to experience, the time when the sun never sets down in the North.

The festival was first held in 1965 with the opening day, the 5th June. The idea for the festival came from Jan Cr. Nilsen (“Nilas”), a journalist in Harstad Tidende. On the 8th of April 1964 a number of representatives of singers and musicians in Harstad met and the idea was turned into action. The meeting took place at the Grand Hotel and an interim board was appointed. The following members of the board, besides inventors, had already important roles in many years: Leif Arne Heløe, Erling Hall Hofsø and Svein Hauan on 22, June 1964 reportedly held a constituent meeting where the foundation that guides the festival and stands to-date  was agreed on.

The first festival was almost like a big northern Norwegian song and music competition on a voluntary basis. Jazz (jazz club) was a key ingredient. After a few years, a new important element in the Historical plays at Laugen on Trondenes was included.

For a number of years it was in connection with a North Norwegian Festival Symphony Orchestra, occasionally with world-renowned soloists and pianist Stephen Ash Nase. The orchestra was led by Ernst Glaser.

After a while many different elements into the event. Now the festival consists of; Concerts, Exhibitions (pictures and sculptures), Theatre, including the Historical plays (outdoor), film, Children’s Festival (1967), Festival Artists (composers, performers and (main) Exhibitors) (1985), City Festival, Seminars, Marking Districts, a program introduced in 1974 that gave a Norwegian municipality – one at a time, in the North to demonstrate their cultural qualities during the festival yearly was a success, but this has not been done since 2001 owing to new factors in the region. READ MORE…

President Kenyatta and Deputy President Ruto has nominated cabinet secretaries

< President Kenyatta with Amb. Raychelle Omamo.

Kenya‘s President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto has nominated members of his cabinet. Those nominated now wait for vetting by Parliament. The Kenyatta – Ruto government will have 18 ministries including two that fall under the offices of the president and the deputy president. President Uhuru Kenyatta will be in-charge of the National Government while Deputy President William Ruto will be in-charge of the Devolved units. The two men are determined to have a lean government. The constitution allows the appointment of not less than 14 and not more tan 22 cabinet secretaries but they opted to have 18. This is avery good sign of things to come because by reducing the number to 18, they are thinking economics – the burden to the tax payer.

Here below are the nominees as cabinet secretaries:

A mini-documentary that highlights the problematic presentation of Africa in Western media.

•  by Edith Waringa

Africa In Western Media 

Imagine Africa contributing AID for one of the richest countries on the planet, Norway? Freezing Cold kills, as much as hunger killing whenever a country does not take care of her people. If all you saw in the news about the western country Norway was the freezing people you would think that it is so all the year round. Just the same as alarming stories about Africa by western media. Africa is rich of resources and the story must be told objectively. This video is made by students at the university of Oslo with financial AID from the Norwegian government to send a message to the world that Africa should be covered objectively by western media.

This is a very enlightening piece of information to those interested in seeing Africa with the African eyes and in a positive way with emphasis of the good things in the continent.  READ MORE…

Remembering The Late Martine Vik Magnussen’s life and cherishing her.

May her soul rest in peace. And may justice be done in the courts of law, after getting the killer to answer rape and murder charges. It is the wish and a right of every parent who loses a beloved child that justice must be done. Norwegian Martine Vik Magnussen who was studying in London was lured into a trap, raped and murdered. The British police have a suspect in the name of Farouk Abdulhak, who is a Yemeni national. He is tied to the murder as the only suspect because he was the last person seen with Martine as they both left a night club in London on the 14th of March 2008, the same day she died. Farouk reportedly escaped to Yemen the same day Martine was murdered and has since refused to return to London where he was schooling. The family led by Odd Petter Magnussen is working hard to ensure that their daughter gets the justice she deserves.

All parents should pray for this case so that the guilty may soon face the law.
