F.W. DE KLERK SHOULD HAVE FACED JUSTICE IN THE HAGUE LIKE CHARLES TAYLOR

F.W. DE KLERK 

Frankly speaking, there isn’t anything called “justice” for the Blackman or the South African. If there is, F.W. de Klerk, former president of South Africa, in the Apartheid era, should have faced trial at the international court in The Hague, for the crimes he committed against South Africans, including children.

Like a bird, free from its cage, he has forgotten his evil actions, deeds, philosophies, and brutal regime against people in their own country. Now he stands labeling international statesman Nelson Mandela as a 'brutal and unfair' political opponent.  

I don’t blame him, but the European fragile justice of favoritisms supports many white leaders who have a bloodstain on their hands.

Klerk was a man who didn’t deserve to share the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize with Mandela. Whom he had released from prison four years earlier. De Klerk said that although the liberation leader was a man of 'stature and strength', he was not faultless. 

That is absolute rubbish. If Mandela is not faultless, what about him whose regime murdered and massacred defenseless school children in cold blood? Nelson Mandela was right to fight for his country and the people. They killed Steve Biko, but they couldn't kill him.

Charles Taylor deserves to face justice and be jailed for supporting rebel leader Foday Sankoh in committing a heinous crime against Sierra Leoneans. 

But taking into consideration the weight of the crime ex-Apartheid leaders committed against South Africans, as a matter of fact, none should have escaped judgment or justice in The Hague. 

Yet, all of them went away with impunity because they were “white vampires sucking the blood of innocent Black people.” If it were to be the other way round, the International Court in The Hague would have lined up all the black leaders to face trial.

Charles Taylor cannot be jailed, to convince the world that the “International Court in The Hague” is doing a good job.  Partiality rules in The Hague.  

If Nazi leaders are being hunted to face prosecution over the killing of six million Jews, then any living ex-Apartheid leader and leaders who supported that evil regime, like former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and others must face justice too. 

That would convince the whole world that the International Court in The Hague is doing a good job.

APARTHEID LEADERS MUST FACE PROSECUTION LIKE THE NAZI CRIMINALS

Apartheid South Africa


In the 1990s, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, chaired by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, granted amnesties to some of the perpetrators of violence and human rights abuses in apartheid-era South Africa.


To forgive, in the sight of the Lord, is better than violence and revenge, but regarding the seriousness of the crime the ex-apartheid leaders committed against the South Africans, it should have been a priority that no one should have escaped prosecution, including other world leaders at that time, like the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who supported the brutal government.

Crimes against Black people are not given much attention by the advanced countries. Response and solution always come very late when the result is already disastrous. 

But comparing the crime of the Nazi-Germans against the Jews, and that of what was done to the South Africans by apartheid leaders, is almost the same. If investigators are hunting down ex-Nazi criminals to face prosecution, then ex-leaders of apartheid and their dead squad members, too, should face prosecution.

Like the Jews, including children killed in gas chambers, the same "They opened fire. They didn't give any warning. They simply opened fire, and small children, small defenseless children, dropped down like swatted flies. This is murder, cold-blooded murder".

A man like F. W. Klerk, South Africa's last apartheid head of state, doesn't deserve to win a Nobel Peace Prize for ending Apartheid. He escalated the violence against the majority of black South Africans. 

When he realized that the world was changing rapidly and there wouldn't be any room for that type of government, he decided to give up. Who is fooling whom?

The Nobel Peace Prize should be handed to people who deserve it, not De Klerk, he was the worst criminal than Adolf Hitler of Germany.
