Bogus Drought & Mugabe"s presence at UN Children Conference
I received the following message from a friend.
Note: Mugabe is probably attending this conference in a bogus move to show that he “cares” for children – just a nice propaganda move and nothing more.
Tsvangirai’s statement below says something which I suggested a few weeks back. I was saying that THERE IS NO DROUGHT IN ZIMBABWE (or anywhere else). But look at the MASS MEDIA around the world saying there is a massive “drought in Southern Africa”. Tsvangirai, who is in Zimbabwe says this is utter bunk. I had noted myself that on our weather charts, etc that there was no sign of a drought. Normally, here in Southern Africa, we have major droughts when the El Nino is active – but it is not. Rain was relatively normal this year.
So I floated the idea that the MASSIVE FOOD AID requested by SEVERAL AFRICAN COUNTRIES is bogus. I toyed with the idea that maybe Mugabe is actually paying them to help him get food and that food which goes to other countries is partly being channelled to Zimbabwe. I note, for example, that Botswana is not asking for food aid. Botswana is a semi-desert and yet it has food – but other countries which have much higher rainfall are the ones complaining.
As you can see, the MDC openly states this story of “drought” is total nonsense. But this should be a lesson to people about the sophistication and extent of propaganda which Mugabe and all his friends can kick up. It shows, even more alarmingly, how many other black nations will lie along with him.

Subject: For friends of Zimbabwe
Dear Friends of Zimbabwe,
I thought I’d post this message (below) from the
opposition leader in Zimbabwe regarding Mugabe’s
curent visit to the UN. I personally am going to
call the White House to protest this. Given the
track record of the current government in Zimbabwe
(including withholding food from the children of
opposition party members), I find it hypocritical
that he can be involved in a conference on the
well-being of children. Please take whatever action
you may find appropriate. I do feel the
international community needs to show its
intolerance of such treatment and we can each
communicate that to our leaders.
Thanks for your interest.

Mugabe’s presence at UN Children Conference shocking
Morgan Tsvangirai, MDC President
May 09, 2002
The Movement for Democratic Change is shocked that
Mr. Robert Mugabe is in New York to attend the
United Nations General Assembly Special Session for
Children Conference.
We are left wondering what message Mr. Mugabe can
possibly have for the children worldwide when his
illegitimate government in Zimbabwe is a living
example of how not to treat children.
The party that he leads has set up militia bases
countrywide where people with a different opinion to
Zanu PF’s are abducted and tortured. Most of the
people in these camps are youngsters below the age
of 20 who are being trained to brutalise their
fellow Zimbabweans.
It is Mugabe’s disastrous policies that have
displaced over 300 000 farm workers and their
children. Stress and fear are widespread in schools
as militias sometimes beat up teachers and parents
in front of school children.
In most cases there is no medication for children
who are the victims of Zanu PF’s violence in
government hospitals. While private hospitals have
medication, they charge fees which are not
affordable which renders them a useless option to
affected families.
Zimbabwe which was the bread basket of Africa is now
a basket case. Today people are now eating roots and
children are malnourished as they struggle to
survive in a country whose economy is on auto-pilot.
The current food crisis facing Zimbabwe is not as a
result of drought because the crop affected by
drought is still on the ground yet to be harvested.
This food crisis is a result of Mugabe’s misplaced
policies.
We therefore find it absurd that a leader who has
demonstrated such callousness against his children
can attend a children’s conference. This hypocrisy
on the part of the Zimbabwean leadership has been
going on for too long and must be exposed for what
it is.
Those who genuinely believe in human rights, and
indeed children’s rights have a duty to say no to
Mugabe’s violence. He must be told in no uncertain
terms to disband Zanu PF militia camps and stop the
violence in Zimbabwe.
Morgan Tsvangirai,
MDC President
