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.***

Zimbabwe --Mugabe dissolves cabinet in shock move***Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe dissolved his cabinet today in a surprise move that official sources said was linked to a government drive to seize white-owned farms. Mugabe, who has vowed to press ahead with the land seizures despite resistance from farmers and growing criticism abroad, will announce a new cabinet on Monday, a government statement said……… "The bottom line is that government policy revolves around Mugabe, and whatever changes we are going to see in personnel will not mean a change in policy," he said. "I think we might see a change in style in some respects but not the substance, and that includes on policies like land," Madhuku added. ***
