Firstly, why does the minister of water an environmental affairs feel it necessary to opine about a matter of international relations? Your own department is an unholy mess, and I would suggest you give some much needed thought to your own portfolio.

Secondly, breaking the law of the country should be your first concern, not the affect on the Sudanese people of losing their murderous leader. In any case, our foreign policy, if such a policy exists, is a disaster on its own.

Thirdly, the constant wailing by African states about a perceived bias by the ICC has no ground.  As far as I know, the ICC can only act when a charge is made. Such charges are usually made by injured African parties. Why do they not approach the AU? What would be the point, when Al-Bashir himself sits at that table, with a large number of other untouchables guilty of ruining their countries, including our own criminal president Mr Zuma.

Finally, we the people, don't trust this government any more.
