Hypocrisy of Afraha rally

With the just ended rally at Afraha we can conclude that this whole event was a total hypocrisy, and was only done for political mileage

Firstly we were all assured back in 2012/13 that the ICC was nothing national but a personal issue that would be kept that way (remember the president stepping down to attend ICC as a civilian), but as soon as the two candidates took office, they turned their backs on this promise and made it their number one national and international issue drawing in the AU and even the UNSC.
