Zimbabwe....The Leftist paradise...The UN plan for all of humanity...
excerpt...
Mr. Mugabe, who has ruled since 1980, denies that his policies are responsible for an economic collapse that has saddled Zimbabwe's 12 million people with shortages of food, fuel and housing.
The 81-year-old leader blames Western opponents for sabotaging the economy.
Mr. Egeland said he has met with donors to assure them they are helping the people of Zimbabwe, not the government. The United Nations has appealed for $276 million, for emergency assistance, and expects to be feeding 3 million people until the April harvests.
Human rights groups repeatedly have criticized the increasingly harsh Mugabe regime, in power for 25 years.
"Zimbabwe's blocking of humanitarian assistance for its displaced population is unconscionable," Human Rights Watch Africa Director Peter Takirambudde said earlier this month.
"Such actions threaten the very survival of these people."
the un crying about zimbabwe is akin to a murderer putting flowers on his victims grave. this group has balls, ill give them that much.
Mugabe was the darling of Western liberals when he came in. They must be very proud of their protege. At least the starving Zimbabweans have the satisfaction of knowing that the evil Anglo-Saxons no longer own the farms. That has to be a comfort to them in their despair.
Didn't Jan Egeland call us cheap after the tsunami while our Navy was rescuing people en masse?
In a related story, Democrats criticized the notion that the UN needed to be reformed.
Not appropriate.
By definition, the creators of the crisis cannot "handle" it.
Frustration that morons can't do calculus is simply an expression of one's own stupidity, nothing more.
Famine by socialism.
