"Mugabe accused of renewed assault on dissidents; Pressure rises for him to step down" by Angus Shaw, Associated Press | December 10, 2008
HARARE, Zimbabwe - President Robert Mugabe's regime has renewed assaults on dissidents, a human rights group said yesterday, even as he faced more international pressure to step down amid a cholera outbreak that has killed nearly 600 people.
The World Health Organization, meanwhile, said it was planning its response on the assumption that as many as 60,000 people could be infected if the situation worsens....
Mugabe's aides... [accused] the West of trying to use the cholera crisis as an excuse to topple the government. At a news conference yesterday, Zimbabwe Information Minister Sikhanyiso Ndlovu asserted "the cholera issue has been used to drive a wedge among us," that the deaths were due to Western sanctions and that the disease was "under control."
--more--"
Now, NOTHING EXCUSES the misery Mugabe has inflicted on his people; however, they ARE CORRECT about the CHOLERA CRISIS being USED to APPLY PRESSURE and get the GLOBALIST, COLONIALIST WEST in there!
Let's face it, the STILL-ACTIVE SANCTIONS did NOT HELP!!!!
