UN: Fair Zimbabwe Elections Impossible, Sky is Blue, Water is Wet
By Duane Lester • Jun 24th, 2008The United Nations has finally realized that there is something amiss in Zimbabwe. I guess all it took was cutting off the feet and hands of the opposition party’s wife before burning her alive for them to say, “Hey, this isn’t fair.”
In a statement, the 15-member body said a free and fair presidential run-off vote on Friday would be “impossible”.
Opposition candidate Morgan Tsvangirai said he would leave the Dutch embassy in Harare over the next 48 hours.
The Movement for Democratic Change leader took refuge there on Sunday night after pulling out of the poll saying he did not want more bloodshed.
He told Dutch radio on Tuesday that the Netherlands ambassador had received assurances from the Zimbabwean government about his safety.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon has said Friday’s election should be delayed, but Zimbabwe’s UN envoy insisted it would go ahead.
The people of Zimbabwe don’t need an election and they don’t need UN peace keepers coming in and raping their children. They need a Second Amendment and a large shipment of weapons. Or at least on really good sniper.
They need a revolution.
