lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I want to address the President of free Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, personally, together with his government and socialist-oriented party, Zanu-PF. Hatred, President Mugabe, is not something upon which a society can be built. Threats can never create confidence and social harmony. Lawlessness can never create security and human solidarity. Violence and murder can never be reconciled with the Christian view of human beings which I know that you, President Mugabe, have grown up with and embraced. The churches of Zimbabwe, the Lutheran World Federation and the World Council of Churches appeal to your conscience. My home country of Sweden has supported Zimbabwe very persistently and in very concrete ways, both in developing its economy and in its struggle to be a free and democratic country founded upon the equal, unique and inviolable value of human life, irrespective of the colour of a person’s skin. Since independence in 1980, Sweden has provided a total of SEK 2 billion in aid, corresponding to USD 220 million. Twenty years ago, the Church of Sweden’s youth movement, which I myself was active in, embarked upon a special venture which we called ‘Be a Friend of Zimbabwe’. Enthusiastic young people from our two countries met. We believed in you, President Mugabe, and in your country’s future because you wanted to uphold the Christian view of human beings in Zimbabwe. We want to believe in you again, even though a lot of bad things have happened. Put away hatred. Do it for the sake of your own reputation, both now and in the future. Do it for the sake of Zimbabwe’s citizens, and do it for the sake of Africa."@en1
