"Mr President, it is no wonder that our fellow Members here are so infuriated by Mugabe. He has made his country, Africa’s fertile granary, a conveyor belt of bad news.
The substitute accommodation that the government has provided has proven to be totally inadequate and has led to a worsening of living conditions, which were already wretched. One of the official reasons given for the entire operation was that they were trying to prevent the spread of disease, but the fact that there was no treatment available after the evictions casts doubt on the government’s motives.
Everyone knows about the situation in Zimbabwe. The corrupt nature of the government and the general mess in both the economy and in society are generally leading to a situation where the basics for existence are just not there. Because of this, we must expect Zimbabwe to give a clear indication of its ability and willingness to safeguard the standard of living of its nationals.
Even if there are good reasons why a large number of people have to make way for major projects, a crucial starting point must also always be the welfare of the displaced population. This is something that Zimbabwe has unquestionably neglected, regardless of whether the reasons that they have given are acceptable or not."@en1
