“The cholera outbreak that has killed some 1,600 people and infected thousands of others has renewed the world’s attention on Zimbabwe and its tyrannous ruler Robert Mugabe. Mr. Mugabe’s economic policies and repression are responsible for widespread poverty, sickness and violence that have gripped Zimbabwe, and while his rule appears to be coming to an end, Zimbabwe’s story provides a somber lesson for the rest of the world. For too long, world leaders and international institutions have temporized with African dictators and accepted flawed elections as sources of incumbents’ legitimacy.” (01/12/09) Link: http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=9885 Filed under: RRND Commentary | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
