As Zimbabwe’s inflation rate hit 2000%, unemployment topped 80% and AIDS ravaged thousand more of its people that day, the BBC posted a “have your say” about the Mugabe regime and Zimbabwe’s troubles in general.
One simple comment stood out:
“Nelson Mandela’s silence is deafening”.
It’s true. Robert Mugabe is engineering a horrific genocide, and we’re standing back and watching it happen.
And to top it all, from The Independent of the 15th May 2007, I learnt that:
Mugabe’s environment and tourism minister, Francis Nhema, was voted in as the leader of the UN’s Commission on Sustainable Development. Mr Nhema, who was educated at Strathclyde University, in Scotland, is one of those who also benefited from being handed a once-thriving farm expropriated by Zanu-PF. According to recent reports, its more than 1,000 hectares are now largely idle. Mr Nhema is also in charge of the country’s national parks, where the wildlife has been allowed to be all but be wiped out by poachers. This is just the chap, apparently, to be nominated to run the UN’s sustainable development programme.
