Mugabe’s victims

Apr 3 2008 by Andrew Baldwin, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

PEOPLE like Patrice Dlamini are the reason why Robert Mugabe’s reign as president of Zimbabwe has to end.

Patrice was forced to flee his homeland as a political refugee in 2004 simply because Mugabe doesn’t like opposition and makes life unbearable for those who stand up to him.

Uprooted from his home, Patrice was offered a welcome in Huddersfield, where he works advising others in a similar situation.

Election results in Zimbabwe are still unclear, but what is certain is that there will be a temptation to settle old scores if Mugabe’s 28-year rule is over.

The country could descend into chaos. It has happened so often in Africa.

The United Nations will have to watch closely – and act swiftly, if need be.
