The charade of a so-called election is today taking place in Zimbabwe, with a foreseeable disastrous result for the people of that former paradise. But it is, on top of this criminal rape of a country, revolting to see a former high-ranking officeholder of United Nations Development Program hanging out with and giving support to the Dictator Robert Mugabe. I am referring to Ahmad Tejan Kabbah, who in the seventies and eighties held various senior posts in UNDP in Southern Africa, before managing to get �elected� to the Presidency of Sierra Leone.
Mr. Kabbah�s time as President in Sierra Leone was marred by a long civil war, which he seemed neither to have mastered nor honestly wished to end. And over the last months same Mr. Kabbah has been seen broad-smiling in Harare at the shoulder of Mugabe. It is sad, but possibly symptomatic of certain African officials understanding of moral, that this �Gentleman� now has chosen to spend his retirement as stooge to the Dictator, who has mastered the art of making Idi Amin look like a Boy scout.
Let us hope, that the numerous foreign hunters, who have enjoyed the hospitality and friendship of this wonderful but longsuffering country, will raise their voice in support of a true democracy in Zimbabwe.
