We throw our support to all the progressive Zimbabweans who are calling for his immediate departure from Zimbabwe.
The government even hosted a five star reception for the dictator atstate house yesterday at the expense of the hungry and suffering peopleof Zimbabwe, who are yet to see the deliverables from the newgovernment.
Lest people forget that, Mr Nam’s country was the place where thenotorious five brigade troops who massacred close to 20 000 innocentcivilians received their training. North Korea is on top on the list ofworst human rights violations, restrictive media laws etc.
His presence in Zimbabwe is a direct insult to the people ofMatabeleland and the people of Zimbabwe in general. We demand anapology from Mr Nam on behalf of his government for the role hiscountry played in assisting and funding the notorious and heartlessFifth Brigade during the Gukurahundi.
It surely came as a shock to us when some of our colleagues who are nowin government, joined their ZANU PF counterparts to welcome thedictator at the
airport on Monday.We appreciate that our country is in dire need of funds
and resources but this should not be an excuse to accommodate, wineand dine with well known dictators, human rights violators, andvampires who thrive on human blood simply because we need aid fromforeign countries.
We are also disappointed that another exiled Ethiopian dictator HaileMengistu is still residing in this country under the benevolence ofMugabe when he is a man who is wanted to answer to crimes againsthumanity in his country. In February this year the MDC-T said that theissue of Mengistu would be high on the agenda of the inclusivegovernment. Just to remind the nation of what the MDC spokesperson MrNelson Chamisa said of Mengistu,”
Zimbabwe should not be a safe haven or resting place for serial humanrights violators like Mr Mengistu, We can’t shelter purveyors ofinjustice," he said. We demand that the issue of Mengistu should bedealt with once and for all by the three principals.
We wish to categorically state that dictators like Nam,Mengistu andMugabe should be treated as pariahs because of their appalling recordof human rights abuses.
