Excuses, excuses - western powers sabotaging Mugabe's government
Edited on Fri Nov-07-03 05:47 AM by dArKeR
Zimbabwe's information minister on Thursday accused some western powers of sabotaging the southern African country's economy in a bid to unseat President Robert Mugabe's government.

Jonathan Moyo told a high level meeting on the country's economic crisis that the countries wanted Mugabe to leave power over his controversial land reforms, during which a minority group of whites lost land to thousands of landless blacks.

"Britain, America, Australia... and New Zealand are truly and seriously committed to regime change, they seek a regime change in Zimbabwe," he said.

"They are pursuing it through acts of economic sabotage and they use weapons of mass deception, (under the cover of) instruments of democracy, human rights rule of law, good governance, to sound reasonable," Moyo said.

Show me some evidence and I'll believe it.

1. Why should they bother?
Mugabe is already doing such a good job of sabotaging his government and his economy.
