Gambia’s become the third African country to announce it’s leaving the International Criminal Court.

It accuses the Hague-based body of ignoring the war crimes of Western countries.

Information Minister in the Gambia Sheriff Bojang says the ICC is in fact an international caucasian court for the persecution and humiliation of people of color, especially Africans.

His West African country follows Burundi and South Africa in giving notice that they’re quitting the tribunal established in 2002 to try war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.

Gambian President Yayah Jammeh’s still waiting for the ICC to respond to his call to investigate the deaths of Africans in the Mediteranean as they flee the continent seeking refuge in Europe.

Jammeh say there are at least 30 Western leaders guilty of heinous grimes against citizens of independent state states who’ve never been prosecuted by the ICC
