 BANJUL, Gambia (AP) - The ousted dictator of Chad, accused of killing thousands, is living in exile with his family in a seaside Senagalese villa. But one very persistent American has made it his mission to get former president Hissene Habre into a courtroom.
This week, rights activist Reed Brody brought his seven-year crusade to the African Union summit in Gambia, where he won a partial victory. Senegal agreed to try Habre, but only under a yet-to-be defined mandate from the African Union.
Reed called it a success, though he noted that his fight now just moves back to Senegal, which has to pass a law to allow the trial.
