REIGN OF TERROR IN UGANDA:
Blood-soaked Chadian maniac Hisenne has has just been convicted of
several heinous crimes, including crimes aganist humanity. Is this a
sign of the times to come? Will Rwandan cut-throat Kayibanda Museveni
be next? The pot-bellied Rwandan outlaw, a pathological psycopath who
ejaculates every time he shoots a victim in the eye, is responsible
for the genocide of 15 million people in Uganda and in the the Great
Lake region, and yet still remains at large. Kayibanda is the most
notorious fugitive from justice in the world today. But as Hissene
Habre's case proves, brutal monsters can ran, but they can't hide
forever. Sooner of later, justice catches up with them. And so it will
be with Kayibanda Museveni. Time will come when he will be forced to
climb the gallows and face hanging by rope. We will never forget nor
forgive his litany of heinous crimes.

Mr Habre's trial is seen as a test case for justice in Africa
Chad's ex-ruler Hissene Habre has been convicted of crimes against
humanity and sentenced to life in prison at his war crimes trial in
Senegal.
The judge also convicted him of rape, sexual slavery and ordering killings.
It was the first time an African Union-backed court has tried a former
ruler for human rights abuses.
The prosecutor at the court in Senegal's capital Dakar requested a
life sentence for Habre, who refused to recognise its legitimacy.
The ex-president denied accusations that he ordered the killing of
40,000 people during his rule from 1982 to 1990.
■More on this and other African news stories
Mr Habre frequently disrupted proceedings during his trial. He shouted
abuse, called the process "a farce", and had to be carried into the
court after refusing to appear.
His critics dubbed him "Africa's Pinochet" because of the atrocities
allegedly committed during his rule.
Habre was arrested in Senegal, where he was exiled, in 2013.
Many of his alleged victims campaigned for him to be tried, following
his overthrow in 1990.
In 2005, a court in Belgium issued a warrant for his arrest, claiming
universal jurisdiction but, after Senegal referred the issue to the
African Union, the AU asked Senegal to try Mr Habre "on behalf of
Africa".
In 2013, a court in Chad sentenced him to death in absentia for crimes
against humanity.
