Belgium sued the patrons "African Pinochet".

Belgium submitted to the International Court in The Hague, a lawsuit against Senegal for failing to prosecute a former President of the Republic of Chad, Hissène Habré, who has many years of living in the country, reports Associated Press.
Habré, who received the nickname "African Pinochet", was ousted from his post as president of Chad and fled to Senegal in a military coup in 1990. Later he was accused of mass murder (over 40 thousand people), torture, hostage-taking and other crimes. In summer 2008, the Chadian court sentenced him in absentia to death.
In addition, the proceedings against Habré was instituted and in most of Belgium. The reason for it became a Belgian lawsuit Chadian origin. In 2005 a Belgian court, using the law of the "world authority", issued an international arrest warrant for deposed President of Chad.
Senegalese authorities arrested Habré it, then re-released it for free. Referring to the features of the legislation, which is not allowed to hear cases of crimes committed outside the country, Senegal referred the case Habré to the African Union. In 2006, the African Union has approved the dictator's trial in Senegal.
In 2008, the Senegalese Parliament adopted amendments to the Constitution, which enables the process of Habré, but the court still has not taken place. Speaking on local radio, the Minister of Justice said that Habré could not be tried for the same crime twice.
The human rights organization Human Rights Watch released in connection with this statement, which called upon the authorities of Senegal to host the trial of ex-head of Chad. The statement noted that pronounced the verdict was based in Chad on charges of crimes against the state. New trial of Habré should be held on charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes.
