World Condemnation Of Zimbabwe Grows

As Opposition Leader Calls For Peacekeepers, World Leaders Lament "Sham" Elections

(CBS/AP)  Zimbabwe plunged deeper into international isolation before a widely derided presidential runoff, as Britain's Queen Elizabeth II stripped Robert Mugabe of his knighthood in the most high-profile rebuke to date of his regime of terror.

Nelson Mandela spoke Wednesday in London at his 90th birthday celebration and lamented "the tragic failure of leadership in our neighboring Zimbabwe" - a stunning indictment of his old friend Mugabe, reports CBS Evening News Anchor Katie Couric.

President Bush said Friday's run-off elections "appear to be a sham," and a meeting of Southern African regional leaders normally strongly sympathetic to Mugabe said the runoff should be postponed.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned Mugabe on Thursday against declaring victory in what she said would be an illegitimate run-off vote.

With the opposition boycotting Friday's election due to ruling party violence and intimidation, Rice said no outcome would be acceptable and that Mugabe must allow a legitimate government to take power.

"Clearly, no run-off election that doesn't have the participation of opposition... can be considered legitimate, no outcome can be considered legitimate," she said in Kyoto, where she was attending a meeting of foreign ministers from the Group of Eight industrialized nations.

Tougher sanctions, sporting bans, even economic boycotts could be next - and world support may build for Zimbabwe opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai's pleas for U.N. peacekeepers.

Tsvangirai made the call for peacekeepers in a commentary published in British newspaper The Guardian Wednesday. Asked about that at a news conference later in Harare, Tsvangirai said: "What do you do when you don't have guns and the people are being brutalized out there?"

He stressed he was not calling for military intervention.

Deploying peacekeepers requires an international consensus that can be hard to build, and efforts can be blocked by governments expected to host contingents. South African Deputy Foreign Minister Aziz Pahad noted Wednesday that efforts to deploy an AU-UN peacekeeping force for Sudan's Darfur have been stalled.

The international community, though, has been considering, and taking, other actions on Zimbabwe.

The unusual move from Queen Elizabeth puts Mugabe in the company of the late Romanian leader Nicolae Ceausescu, who was stripped of his title in 1989 at the height of the Balkan nation's revolution. The queen acted on the advice of her Foreign Secretary David Miliband, who has pointed to widespread violence and intimidation of the southern African country's opposition ahead of the presidential runoff in which Mugabe was the only candidate. Scores of opposition activists, including high-ranking party members, have been attacked or killed.

Mugabe was made an honorary knight in 1994, when he was considered an anti-colonial hero.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's spokesman Michael Ellam said sanctions against Zimbabwe are under review, but said Britain wanted to guard against hurting the population.

"We are mindful of the humanitarian impact on Zimbabwe, but we would not want to see anything that would prop up the regime in any way," Ellam told reporters on Wednesday.

European Union leaders last week threatened Zimbabwe with more, unspecified sanctions. Brown said then that could include more targeted sanctions against members of Mugabe's regime.

European Union nations already have in place an arms embargo against Zimbabwe, in addition to a suspension of development aid and an assets freeze and travel ban against Mugabe and more than 100 other top government officials.

The England and Wales Cricket Board on Wednesday severed all bilateral ties with Zimbabwe's cricket authorities after Brown insisted Zimbabwe's team should be banned from entering the country. Earlier, Cricket South Africa imposed sporting sanctions on Zimbabwe.

In South Africa, there are increasing calls to try to force South African President Thabo Mbeki to take a tougher stand on Zimbabwe. Some ask whether a country seen as appeasing a dictator should be hosting the 2010 soccer World Cup. South Africa could face a public relations disaster similar to the criticism China has faced over Tibet as it prepares to host the Olympics.

Companies with Zimbabwe links are under pressure. After British media raised questions about its mining interests in the southern African country, Britain's Anglo American issued a statement Wednesday expressing "deep concern" about Zimbabwe and condemning violence there.

In a measure of the continuing tension, opposition leader Tsvangirai returned to the Dutch Embassy in Harare following a news conference Wednesday. Tsvangirai first fled to the embassy on Sunday following his announcement he was withdrawing from the runoff. He sought refuge after getting a tip that soldiers were headed to his home.

South Africa said Wednesday that 300 Zimbabwean opposition supporters were seeking refuge at its embassy in Zimbabwe.

At Wednesday's news conference, Tsvangirai, seen at left, called on African leaders to guide negotiations to end the crisis. The goal of the talks would be to form a coalition transitional authority in Zimbabwe.

He said discussions could not begin until there was an end to attacks on his supporters. Tsvangirai also wants a release of "political prisoners," including the MDC's No. 2 official Tendai Biti, who has been jailed since earlier this month on treason charges that can carry the death penalty.

Zimbabwean Deputy Information Minister Bright Matonga reacted with derision: "Is he out of his mind?"

Matonga said the government and Mugabe's ZANU-PF were focused on the election. Tsvangirai was to be on the ballot, electoral officials said Wednesday, saying his withdrawal came too late to be valid.

"There will definitely be elections on Friday," Matonga said.

Tsvangirai said he was asking the African Union, whose heads of state hold a regular summit in Egypt next week, to take over mediation, which so far has been in the hands of South African President Thabo Mbeki and a southern African regional group.

Tsvangirai had previously called on Mbeki to step aside, accusing him of bias in Mugabe's favor and saying his "quiet diplomacy" was not working. Mbeki has refused to publicly denounce Mugabe - Friday, South African government spokesman Themba Maseko once again refused to refer to Zimbabwe as being in "crisis."

Regional heads of state, meanwhile, met in Swaziland in hopes of finding a solution for Zimbabwe. Their meeting ended with a call for the runoff to be postponed until conditions permitted a free and fair vote.

This is a chance for America to become the ''good guys'' again (as they were under Clinton when he wiped his *ss all over that criminal Milosevic from Serbia).

Minimal investment in our overwhelming military domination. No American lives lost. Potentially millions of Zimbabwean lives SAVED from a fate worse than death. Democracy in Africa saved.

Win. Win. Unfortunately, there''s no oil involved. That''s probably why BushCo will do what''s ''expedient''.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but we could offer to take all the Zimbabweans Mugabe is going to kill in the next 5 years, and turn them into oil for our cars. That would be the Republican thing to do.

[emelder]

If only they had weapons of mass destruction, or oil, then Bush and Cheney could do something.

libsluv2spit said: "this is a UN and EU and AU operation..are you telling me that they are INCOMPETENT? "
They are the best that humanity can offer (and Bono too). But they are hamstrung by the fact that they don''t really have military power.

This is where real-politik must enter in. Mugabe is already a mass-murderer. It would be a kindness to him to place him before the World Court and see him sentenced for life. But, swifter, cleaner, and with more resolution, the U.S. could simply tell him to leave (with some cash as an inducement) or face the consequences (all from the air, of course). Time to lift Zimbabwe out of its nightmare. Maybe Africa is headed for permanent ''also-ran'' status. I certainly don''t know. But, it''s progress is only slowed by thugs like Mugabe. Time for him to go, one way or the other. Honestly, it''d be a kindness to his countrymen to get him to leave the country, one way or the other.

There you go again repeating the same neo-con krap you may have heard on the radio or TV.

Just because the UN doesn''t bend over and quietly go along with every imperialist wish and war-mongering proposal of the Americans doesn''t mean it is anti-American.

Think for a second. It isn''t like the UN is owned or operated by a couple of countries who are sworn enemies of America. The frikking organization counts 192 countries as its members who make decisions jointly through discussion and democratic voting.

If you perceive those decisions as "anti-American", then basically what you are saying is that the whole world is anti-American.

Where do you think the problem lies?
America or the rest of the world?

[ubrew12]

Winstrv said: "The UN is a useless organization that should be disbanded. It is the most anti-American organization in the land. "

Gosh, do I detect some residual anger over the fact that they tried to keep GW Bush from making a fool of himself (and the rest of us in America) over Iraq?

That they are still in NY is THEIR GIFT TO US!! They should have left years ago, but they''ve stayed out of some (bizarre) sense of obligation to the country that, more than any other, founded them. My vote? They should leave for Europe, a continent that deserves them, has a currency that can actually pay their salaries, and isn''t on the brink of becoming internationally irrelevant thanks to the myopia (and hard to ignore ignorance) of America''s red-staters.

If there''s a group of Americans that deserves the likes of Mugabe, its America''s red-staters.

I don''t listen to Jay-Z, but even I could tell it was a satire from what little MCVet- posted. At the time I was listening to Brad Paisley''s ''Online'', and was tempted to think he was a 30-something who lived in his mothers basement and lied about his online-identity.

Then, I realized ''McVet-'' was a dvmb*ss, and the world was set right again.

Obama has good musical instincts, after all! Another good reason to vote for him.

The U.S. and the other major countries of the world should issue a ''''harshly worded'''' statement IMMEDIATELY!

If that should fail, the nations of the world will have NO choice left but to issue a complete and utter CONDEMNATION of Zimbabwe. Let us hope that it does not come to that!

[ubrew12]

Winstrv said: "If the UN had been created before World War II we would be speaking German and Japanese."

they were. They were called the League of Nations. It was the least the Westerners could do after the abomination called WWI.

They (the UN) can only illuminate. They can''t take action. They put their soldiers into harms way LITERALLY so that if they are harmed the world will knows about it. ILLUMINATION. They have no arms or power to do more than that, and that''s fine with most countries (including the US). Take a look at how many UN resolutions condemn Israel.

This situation calls out for more than ''light''. It calls for action. The US reserves for itself (rightly, many say) the ability to take action, when humanity needs it. Well, this is one of those times. Mugabe can be encouraged to allow free elections, or to leave the country, with little more than a bribe (a carrot) and a threat of getting a Predator missile up his *ss (a stick). No big invasion! No ''mission accomplished''! No dead American soldiers! And, a great chance to show hicks like yourself how ''impotent'' the UN is!

Its a win-win. Except... you''re still a hick. Thats something no Predator missile can solve.

Correction, it was called the breadbasket of Europe, because the produce was sold cheaply to Europeans, and the native Zimbabwe people never benefitted. In fact, it would be safe to say that if the people were benefitting, there would have been no revolution.

As for your statement that "Zimbabwe%u2019s state-run media rail against a phantom international conspiracy consisting of Western powers and led by %u201Cliar%u201D George Bush, %u201Cgay%u201D Tony Blair, %u201Cuncle Tom%u201D Colin Powell, and %u201Ca slave to white masters%u201D Condoleezza Rice", this view has been proven to be almost totally correct, with the sole exception of Mr. Blair being g*ay, which we do not know, and at any rate is none of our business.

Any country newly freed from colonial captivity faces problems from rebuilding the infrastructure, to power struggles, to social upheaval, this is no different.

Leave the Zimbabweans to sort themselves out, they neither need, or want our help.

[ubrew12]

brianbwb said: "Any country newly freed from colonial captivity faces problems from rebuilding the infrastructure "
I''m not sure you''re correct on this. Zimbabwe was no more a colony than India was, or China. The latter seem to be getting along just fine. One can only blame ones colonial former masters for so much...

Cambodia, and Serbia, seem the recent examples most applicable to this case. In each case, a little muscle power could encourage a nascient dictatorship into leaving the scene. Sensitive over the Vietnam debacle, such wasn''t applied in Cambodia. The result was genocide. Two million dead, most horribly. Such WAS applied in the former Yugoslavia. The result? Genocide averted.

The lesson seems clear to me.

Many of those calling against ''action'' in Zimbabwe''s national tragedy do so because, to them, Zimbabwe is different from Yugoslavia or Cambodia. To me, it sounds like the problem for them is that Zimbabwe is black. I wouldn''t suggest you fit that description, just that that is the people who''ll be making common cause with you.

''Problems rebuilding infrastructure'' from colonialisms depradations?

All I see is women getting their forearms hacked off.

END IT! We have the power, and godd*m*nit! we have the responsibility.

I understand the point you are trying to make, but I have personally witnessed the effects of a radical change of authority.

Indonesia was a country where most of the people lived in fear of antagonizing the authoritarian Soeharto, because repercussions would be certain to follow. They complained in private of the corruption of the "first family", and prayed for it to end, but the real fun started after he fell from power.

Each small faction started their push to gain as much power as possible, government and corporate corruption became exponentially worse, secessionist movements started and grew into localized civil wars, crime skyrocketed, radical religious groups began to foment interfaith strife where there was none before, and new local "mafia" groups had turf wars.

Today most of the same people who wanted Soeharto out acknowledge that the situation is much worse now, and long for the former days, even though some aspects, such as the complete repression of Chinese culture, and the jailing of more salient corruptors, has improved greatly.

Btw, both India and China were British colonies, and each went through the same post colonial struggles, they have just had more time than Zimbabwe to settle most of their problems, their central power structure is in place.

If McCain should become president, and escalate hostilities in the ME, we will see first hand how difficult it is to fix a broken egg.

Once upon a time there was a serpent who was badly injured in a fight with another animal. It managed to slither away to safety but would have surely died if a benevolent man had not seen it suffering by the side of the road. The goodly man carefully wrapped the snake up and took it to his house, where he bestowed the kindest and gentlest care on the snake until it was healed and could return to the wild. Just as the man was releasing the serpent back into the grass, the ungrateful snake turned and bit him on the hand.

"What did you do that for?" cried the man, who knew that the bite of this particular snake was usually fatal. "Didn''t I take care of you when no one else would?"

The snake shrugged (no small feat for a snake!) and replied to the benevolent--and now doomed-- man, "What did you expect? You knew I was a snake when you picked me up."

Getting them out of power is something that time will accomplish on its'' own, there really is no need for military intervention, but the problem is what happens afterward, when the various factions either loyal, or in opposition to the former try to advance their positions.

As we see in Iraq, we cannot tell anyone whom to have as a leader, the other groups will simply wait us out, then have their power struggle anyway, and the longer they have to wait, the more blood is shed as they use the time to solidify their base, and "deal with" potential competitors.

With the economy in ruins and political freedom eviscerated, Zimbabwe%u2019s state-run media rail against a phantom international conspiracy consisting of Western powers and led by %u201Cliar%u201D George Bush, %u201Cgay%u201D Tony Blair, %u201Cuncle Tom%u201D Colin Powell, and %u201Ca slave to white masters%u201D Condoleezza Rice.

Mugabe doesn''t give a fat rat''s toenail about "world condemnation." He loves that stuff. Feeds off of it.
Talks about how Zimbabwe is a "sovereign state" & will do what it wants while his idiot supporters cheer. Mugabe against the world. The black man will triumph!

All the while inflation heads towards 400,000 percent. Unemployment = 80%. Virtually no agriculture any more. People starving. Pro-Mugabe thugs running wild. Opposition running scared. Another case of black Africans doing it to their fellow black Africans.

But these are minor details. Time to polish Mugabe''s car & get his seven-course dinner ready!
