There seems a consensus that it is unjust for ousted dictators to seek refuge away from justice.
On a human level, that must be right. But consider: a dictator with nowhere to go will fight longer and harder, causing more hardship and death to innocents, than one who has an escape route.

An ungovernable country where the majority of the people will hate him and peace will never return until a government that is either acceptable to all or made up of one that is representative of the country’s ethnic make up
