How very nice of him
The Guardian reports that Robert Mugabe is willing to make nice with other countries.
The Zimbabwean president offered a rare olive branch to the west today, with a call for “fresh, friendly and co-operative relations” with former enemies.
Robert Mugabe, subject to targeted sanctions by America and the EU, made the unusually conciliatory remarks in a speech at the opening of Zimbabwe’s parliament.
How nice. Maybe he could start by being a bit nicer to the rest of the people in that long suffering country. I am not the first to think of that.
But the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), which is in a power-sharing deal with Mugabe’s Zanu-PF party, played down the comments, saying that the president’s words were yet to be matched by deeds.
No kidding.
