 Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger trumpet their withdrawal from the International Criminal Court as an act of sovereign defiance and decolonization, but the spectacle barely conceals its true aim: impunity. All three juntas seized power by force and stand accused of atrocities committed by their militaries and Russian-backed auxiliaries. By rejecting The Hague, they aren’t reclaiming justice for Africa; they’re dismantling the last external check on their power, turning “sovereignty” into a shield against accountability and leaving victims in the Sahel with nowhere to turn.
