African Union Gives Hero’s Welcome To Mugabe
The continent of Africa has once again proven that it’s just as corrupt as ever. Just hours after taking office again (’taking’ in the literal sense) Robert Mugabe traveled to the African Union Summit in Sharm el-Sheikh where he should have been shunned.
Instead he was hugged and kissed warmly by his fellow African dictators and treated like a hero. Only veiled references to the violence, intimidation, and murder, that has gripped Zimbabwe in the wake of Mugabe’s power grab were made.
Until African nations begin to take a stand against corruption and bloodshed and demand democracy and diplomacy, the continent of Africa will remain a place synanamous with poverty and misery.
Queen Of England Strip Mugabe Of Knighthood?
The NY Times is reporting today that Queen Elizabeth II has officially stripped Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe of his honory knighthood. The British foreign office says the move was a “mark of revulsion” for his African dictator’s “abject disregard” for Democracy.
The question that really needs to be answered here is how in the hell was Robert Mugabe granted Knighthood? Are they just handing that title out to just anyone these days? The Brits claim he was given Knighthood during a state visit in 1994 when “conditions in Zimbabwe were quite different.”
I’m not sure what “conditions” they’re referring to, but Robert Mugabe has been a vicious third world dictator since the day he took office.
I’m not blaming Britain for having relations with his government, but it’s pretty incredible that a thug like Mugabe would be given Knighthood. Maybe they should have given Knighthood to Mobutu Sese Seko, and other African strong men as well.
