The repression system made by Hissène Habré

In spite of the support of France and United States Hissène Habré must leave the power and find a safety place in December 1990 in Dakar (Senegal). Habré thought that he could live there safety like the other African dictators who have succeed to escape before the end of their regime but the falling down of the Berlin wall changes everything. The Senegalese authorities put him under house arrest and charge him for crime against the humanity. Habré will be judge by an African court of justice created by the International court of justice (ICJ). During his trail Habré despises his judges and his lawyers but the testimonies of his victims will help the Court and the 30th of may 2016 he is sentenced to life. This trail constitute a first step but the grounds of the decision didn't mentioned the part playing by France, United States and also by Idriss Déby the Habré's successor. Some African head of state don't like this judgement and they accused the ICJ to be neocolonialist and they have the will to leave the ICJ.
