When Hissene Habre, the deposed dictator of Chad, was found guilty
of crimes against humanity in 2016, it was described as 'a
watershed for human rights justice in Africa and beyond'. For the
first time, an African war criminal had been convicted on African
soil. Having followed the trial from the very beginning and
interviewed many of those involved, journalist Celeste Hicks tells
the remarkable story of how Habre was brought to justice. His
conviction followed a heroic 25 year campaign by activists and
survivors of Habre's atrocities, which succeeded despite
international indifference, opposition from Habre's allies, and
several failed attempts to bring him to trial in Europe and
elsewhere. In the face of such overwhelming odds, the conviction of
a once untouchable tyrant represents a major turning point, with
profound implications for African justice and the future of human
rights activism globally.
