The conviction of Hissein Habré for crimes against humanity has been described as "a turning point for human rights justice in Africa and beyond." For the first time, an African war criminal was convicted on African soil. Journalist Celeste Hicks recounts the remarkable story of how Habré was brought to justice, having followed the trial from the beginning and interviewed many involved. His conviction follows a heroic 25-year campaign led by activists and survivors of Habré's atrocities, which succeeded despite international indifference, opposition from Habré's allies, and several unsuccessful attempts to bring him to justice in Europe and elsewhere. In the face of such challenges, the conviction of a once untouchable leader represents a major turning point and has profound implications for African justice and the future of human rights activism worldwide.
