Mugabe: Outstaying His Welcome

By Gwynne Dyer

Like the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Cuba's Fidel
Castro, President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe is a revolutionary who would
have served his people best by dying a long time ago. Instead, at the age
of 81, he is now deliberately starving people who refuse to vote for his
Zanu-PF party in the parliamentary elections on 31 March. Perhaps no one
individual can claim the credit for ruining a whole country, but Mugabe
would certainly lead the contenders."
