AU cites terrorism in plea for Kenya deferral

The African Union on Tuesday cited Kenya's status as "a frontline state in the fight against terrorism" in a formal plea to the United Nations Security Council for deferral of the International Criminal Court cases against Kenya's leaders.

The proceedings against President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto "may pose a threat to the ongoing efforts in the promotion of peace, national healing and reconciliation as well as the rule of law and stability in Kenya and the region," the AU declared.
