We'll go it alone, SA tells US - snubs the US.

The South African cabinet has snubbed the United States government over its insistence on linking military training assistance with indemnifying US service people.

In a statement from cabinet spokesperson Joel Netshitenzhe on Thursday, he said the weekly ordinary cabinet meeting had been briefed on the intention of the United States administration to terminate the international military education and training and foreign military fund programmes.

This was their intention "unless South Africa enters into a bilateral agreement indemnifying US servicemen and women from prosecution by the International Criminal Court".

Lets hope more than a few others follow their shinning example of self-determination and sovereignty.
