ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - African leaders called on Saturday for the prosecutions of Kenya's and Sudan's presidents by the International Criminal Court to be halted, amid complaints the body has only ever pursued Africans.

An African Union summit in Addis Ababa was held to discuss Africa's relations with the court, which has convicted just one man, a Congolese warlord, and has only charged Africans.
