This from the man who bulldozed the homes of hundreds of thousands of second class citizens, His people would do well to live as well as the Australian aboriginees, who, of course, are free to buy alcohol or not, being free citizens who have the same or better entitlements to welfare than the average citizen and the same rights as any other citizen. I wonder if all citizens of Zimbabwe are free to do as they please?
Mugabe scathing on Australia
16.12.2006. 14:18:53
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe launched a stinging attack against Australia at his ruling party's annual convention.
In a speech to ZANU-PF delegates, Mr Mugabe said Aboriginal Australians had been dehumanised and were dependent on alcohol.
Mr Mugabe addressed around 4,000 delegates at the convention at a school at Goromonzi, about 30 kilometres east of the capital Harare.
During the speech he also called for unity in the troubled southern African nation which is facing its worst economic crisis since independence from Britain in 1980.
Mr Mugabe, 82, decried rivalry and divisions in the ruling party over economic policies, corruption and factions allegedly vying to succeed him.
He used the example of Australia to poor scorn on the UK's colonial history, saying that the British had sent murderers and robbers there who had embarked on a campaign to destroy the native Aboriginal people.
"Just now the Aborigines in Australia are no people at all. They have been dehumanised. The Australians started a campaign of destroying them, eliminating them, and those they didn't eliminate they gave alcohol. And today they cannot do without alcohol. The few of them who are there, they are a sorry sight," Mr Mugabe said.
He also attacked Commonwealth Secretary-General Don McKinnon who said recently that Zimbabwe's political and economic crisis showed no signs of abating. |
