I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Zambia Pres: "Western powers bulldozed Zimbabwe exclusion"
[Note. All Mugabe’s dirt bag friends are slowly standing up to be counted and showing their hatred for the West. Jan]
Abuja – Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa accused Western Commonwealth members on Monday of forcing Zimbabwe’s exclusion through a split summit and said leaders left the Abuja gathering more divided than when they arrived.
In strong-worded comments to Reuters before he left the Nigerian capital, the southern African leader said: “The Western countries bulldozed the suspension of Zimbabwe partly because of their economic muscle.
“I am very disappointed by that decision and I am disappointed by Zimbabwe’s subsequent decision to pull out.”
‘We leave Abuja more divided than when we arrived’
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe was suspended from the group of mostly former British colonies last year because of charges he rigged his re-election and persecuted the opposition.
Commonwealth leaders extended sanctions against Zimbabwe on Sunday despite strong resistance from a small but powerful minority of African members who lobbied for its readmission.
Mugabe immediately announced his withdrawal from the Commonwealth, denouncing a “racist” plot to punish his country for a land reform programme that gave white-owned farms to landless blacks.
Some African countries, including Ghana and Kenya, backed Zimbabwe’s suspension. But Zambia, South Africa, and Mozambique, among others, campaigned to lift it.
Mwanawasa said these countries would remain in the group despite their opposition to Sunday’s resolution.
‘I do not believe any other countries in the region will quit the Commonwealth’
“The matter was not handled as well as it should have been, and on this we leave Abuja more divided than when we arrived,” he said.
“But I do not believe any other countries in the region will quit the Commonwealth in support of Zimbabwe. We will keep our membership and complain from within to make our grievances known.”
The Commonwealth declaration on Zimbabwe opened the way for it to return swiftly, but only if Mugabe engaged in political reconciliation and stuck to other Commonwealth principles including respect for human rights.
Mwanawasa said the African caucus within the Commonwealth will use the African Union and other venues “to express our disappointment and disassociate ourselves” from the Commonwealth decision on Zimbabwe.
