Zuma joins small club of African leaders in dock

Anthony Buchi C. Reply Monday, August 06, 2018 A+ A- The trial is a rarity on the African continent, where political leaders – particularly heads of state – are seldom called to account for alleged wrongdoing.
Below are some African leaders who have ended up in the dock:

Hissene Habre, Chad

Frederick Chiluba, Zambia

Laurent Gbagbo, Ivory Coast

Former Ivory Coast president Laurent Gbagbo was brought before the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes allegedly committed during post-electoral violence in 2010 and 2011, when he refused to accept defeat by rival Alassane Ouattara.
The trial in the Hague began in 2016 and is ongoing.

Charles Taylor, Liberia

Former Liberian president Charles Taylor is serving a 50-year jail term in a British prison for war crimes in neighbouring Sierra Leone.
Taylor, a warlord who campaigned for election in 1997 on the slogan “He killed my ma, he killed my pa, but I will vote for him”, was convicted in 2012 by the U.N. Special Court for Sierra Leone.

Uhuru Kenyatta, Kenya

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta was summoned to the ICC to answer questions about his indictment on charges of orchestrating a wave of deadly post-election violence that swept Kenya in 2007 and 2008.
The ICC agreed to withdraw the charges against him in 2015.
