How evil do you have to be to claim that a deadly epidemic, whose outbreak is the direct result of your callous attitude towards millions of people, has actually been extinguished - while people continue to die from it? That's what's happening in Zimbabwe, and it has to stop.
The Times reports Robert Mugabe's televised speech in which he says: "I am happy to say our doctors have been assisted by others and WHO (the World Health Organization)... so now that there is no cholera.” This is a lie. As of Wednesday 10th December 2008, there were 16,403 cases of cholera in Zimbabwe, and there have been 783 deaths from the disease.
According to the report, Mugabe went on: "Because of cholera, Mr Brown, Mr Sarkozy and Mr Bush want military intervention. Now that there is no cholera, there is no need for war." Er... what?
