"Mr President, the people of Zimbabwe deserve justice and the rule of law. Last month’s elections indicate the possible end of tyranny. I think the very fact that Mugabe’s government has delayed acknowledging the result and is trying to recount the votes indicates – and is proof – that they feel themselves defeated.
I am especially worried about the widespread violence in the meantime, directed against supposed supporters of the opposition – people having been beaten up and killed just for differing in their views from the government positions. I would also like to mention the fact that this regime cannot survive without outside support, so the Chinese factor is very symbolic – the ships with armaments landing in African ports."@en1
