More on Zimbabwe

The story just gets worse and worse and nothing is ever done...

Today I read that:

"President Robert Mugabe's onslaught against his opponents widened to include their families when the wife and child of the mayor of Harare were abducted.

Armed men raided the house of Emmanuel Chiroto, a senior member of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change and recently elected mayor.

They burned down the house with petrol bombs and kidnapped his wife, Abigail, 27, and their four-year-old son, Ashley. The boy was released a few hours later, but Mrs Chiroto is still missing.

The incident bore all the hallmarks of a state-organised operation designed to break the MDC's organisation by targeting its key figures. Five of the MDC's local organisers have been murdered."

And what do we do in the West? Nothing, have you heard a peep from our Foreign Secretary, no he's too busy trying to help the EU override the Ireland NO vote. How about Thabo Mbeki? Don't be daft, he still thinks that Mugabe is a heroic freedom fighter.
