Spain on Wednesday asked for clarification on the intentions of a
Russian fleet that was scheduled to dock for refueling in Spain's port
of Ceuta between October 28 and November 2. Spain's foreign ministry
issued this statement:

> [indent]<QUOTE>"Given the information which appeared on the
> possibility that these ships would participate in supporting
> military action in the Syrian city of Aleppo, the ministry of
> foreign affairs requested clarification from the embassy of the
> Russian Federation in Madrid."<END QUOTE>
[/indent]

Russian fleets had been refueling in Ceuta for years, but hostility is
growing in Europe over the genocidal acts of Syria's president Bashar
al-Assad, backed by Russia, and most recently his plans to destroy the
city of Aleppo, killing as many civilians as possible, possibly
including as many as hundreds of thousands of women and children.

The Russian fleet, which includes an aircraft carrier, had put on a
great show last week by traveling through the English Channel, instead
of taking the usual route north of Scotland. It's destination is to
be a port in Syria, and it's suspected that Russia plans to launch
additional bombers from the fleet to take part in the Aleppo
slaughter. This prompted Nato to put pressure on Spain to demand a
clarification from Russia.

Russia responded to Spain's request for clarification by withdrawing
its request to refuel in Ceuta. Gibraltar Chronicle and BBC

**** The Gambia follows Burundi and S. Africa in leaving the International Criminal Court

First, two weeks ago, Burundi announced it was withdrawing from the International Criminal Court (ICC)
in the Hague. Then, two days ago, South Africa also announced its withdrawal.

On Wednesday, The Gambia became the third African country in quick
succession to announce its withdrawal, calling it the "International
Caucasian Court" because of its targeting of African countries.

Burundi and The Gambia have many similarities. Both are being led by
presidents (Pierre Nkurunziza of Burundi and Yahya Jammeh of The
Gambia) who have been in power for years, and who are using violence,
torture and mass slaughter of the opposition to stay in power. That's
why both countries are leaving the ICC.

South Africa is in a different category. South Africa has been a
democracy since 1994, when the first election was held following the
end of apartheid. The African National Congress (ANC) political party
has won every national election since then, but opposition political
parties have increasingly been scoring victories in regional
elections, to the point where ANC leaders fear they'll lose the next
national election.

The current ANC leader Jacob Zuma is being widely criticized as
corrupt and unaccountable, and is being blamed for ANC's losses in a
recent election. The ANC is badly split, and Jacob Zuma's unilateral
decision to withdraw South Africa from the ICC raises suspicions that
he's about to take some steps similar t those taken by Pierre
Nkurunziza of Burundi and Yahya Jammeh of The Gambia to stay in power.
