"Mr President, it is no longer just Mugabe and his regime that are under scrutiny. Mugabe, because of his terrible deeds and this whole tragic farce, has already been condemned by international public opinion. It is the international community that is under scrutiny now. It is Thabo Mbeki, it is the SADC and the AU, it is China, it is us in the EU, it is the United Nations. The Zimbabwean people, Tsvangirai and the MDC deserve all our support and solidarity in these difficult times. We could invite Morgan Tsvangirai to come to a meeting of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Development in July or September.
We all continue to receive terrible news from Zimbabwe about the violence there. We must not fail. Morgan Tsvangirai and the MDC majority deserve not just words of comfort or any sort of consolation position but rather to be invested in office according to the results of the 29 March elections. The international community, if it fails in the transition – if we fail – will be covered with shame. I hope it will not happen like that."@en1
