African Union to back Kenyatta

Kenyan president Kenyatta says he is delighted that other African leaders are supporting his bid to have his case for crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court (ICC) referred back to Kenya.

Heads of state are due to adopt a draft decision at the African Union (AU) Assembly on Sunday.

In the eyes of the ICC such a proposal would have no legal standing and according to international diplomats, now that the process has started it would be too late for the case to be abandoned.
