Blair must take a stand on Mugabe *** Blair has another opportunity at the earth summit. On September 2 he will share the platform with Mugabe. Blair must condemn him in the clearest terms and refuse to appear on the platform with him. Mugabe is an illegitimate leader and the prime minister should treat him as such. Blair should then call on member countries of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to acknowledge the grave damage that is being done to the region by Mugabe. He should seek their commitment to securing fresh and genuinely fair elections in Zimbabwe and to restoring human rights.***
