Bush has so far enjoyed," senior legal advisor for Amnesia Amnesty International, Matt Pollard said.

According to the international rights group, African nations have the obligation to bring Bush to justice for his role in war crimes, Rooters reported.

This is while Bush's stay in Africa is aimed at raising awareness of cervical and breast cancers, as well as HIV/AIDS.

#1  Except that these countries adore W. Bush, because he gave them a huge amount of practical and useful help in improving themselves. Not just dumping money or sending idealistic NGOs to waste everyone's time.
