Mugabe

This just about sums him up:

Mugabe blamed the Movement for Democratic Change of Morgan Tsvangirai for the outbreak of violence in the country, which began Sunday when police shot dead one opposition supporter and badly beat Tsvangirai and dozens of others when they tried to attend a prayer rally.

But for the first time there were signs of a change in the policy of the African Union:

The A.U. said armed attacks on opposition (Movement for Democratic Change) leaders and supporters in the capital, Harare, earlier this week were an embarrassment to the continent.

Not before time. The silence, up until now, of the A.U. has been an embarrassment to the continent.
