Kosovo are you drunk? Huh

For it must be noted, that men must either be caressed or else annihilated;
they will revenge themselves for small injuries, but cannot do so for great ones; the
injury thereofore that we do to a man must be such that we need not fear for his vengence.

Nigeria absent as AU tackles rift over 'African govt.'

DIVISIONS over a proposed "African government" were being thrashed out yesterday at a summit in Sirte, Libya, where the continent's leaders again vowed not to cooperate with a global court in its drive to apprehend Sudan's Head of State over alleged war crimes against the country's black population at Darfur.

Leaders from nearly half of the African Union's (AU's) 53 members were in attendance, with Egypt, Nigeria and Angola among those most notably absent. The summit is scheduled to end today.

Libyan leader Moamar Gaddafi again pressed for a powerful new continental authority as the summit got under way.

The leaders agreed earlier in February to create an AU Authority that would centralize the executive powers of the 53-member bloc, but Gaddafi is pushing to grant the new body sweeping powers over defence, trade and foreign relations.

The continent's biggest economy, South Africa, as well as top oil producers Nigeria and Angola, are opposing Gaddafi and arguing for a more gradual approach to integration.

"Everyone is very angry. We're not sure how it will end up," an agency report quoted a diplomat as saying.

It was only the latest move by the Libyan leader to rankle the visiting leaders at the summit in his hometown of Sirte, which has been decked out in twinkle lights, lit-up plastic trees and laser shows for the occasion.

Gaddafi extended a surprise invitation to Iran's hardline leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to address the summit, only for Tehran to cancel the trip at the last minute without explanation.

Delegates complained they had not been consulted, did not all support the invitation, and feared the Iranian visit would overshadow the meeting's official agenda, which is supposed to focus on agricultural investments.

A draft of the AU resolution said the Pan-African bloc would not cooperate with the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague over its indictment of Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir and arrest warrant for him over atrocities in Darfur.

Gaddafi also unexpectedly proposed tough measures on the ICC that would limit cooperation with it for countries that already have treaty obligations to the court.

"Some countries that sympathise with Sudan say the ICC is targeting only certain people," said one southern African diplomat.

"We are saying, look at the merits of the ICC and each country can make a self-assessment," he added.

Bashir is at the summit, pushing for a suspension of the warrant.

The African leaders also must confront the political and armed conflicts roiling the continent, most dramatically in Somalia, where Islamist insurgents launched an offensive against the internationally-backed government nearly two months ago.
