Currently, the US is probably using the strongest language to condemn Mugabe, and has even called for action from the Security Council. I think it's high time for condemnation of Mbeki as well...and time for some actual intervention from the AU and the UN. I don't know how many AU forces have currently been pledged to Darfur, and how many are available for additional operations.AhmedEzz said:Where is the international community? dictators are all over Africa, why doesn't anyone do anything about it? Where is Mr.Bush and his never-ending calls for democracy? where is the EU? UN?
WASHINGTON (AFP) — Zimbabwe must be held accountable for election violence that drove the opposition to pull out of a presidential run-off, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in a statement Monday.
"In forsaking the most basic tenet of governance -- the protection of its people -- the government of Zimbabwe must be held accountable by the international community," Rice said.
Rice said regional and world leaders much address the mounting violence.
"We call upon the Southern African Development Community, African Union Peace and Security Council, and the United Nations Security Council to take up this issue immediately," she said.
"The United States condemns in the strongest terms the government of Zimbabwe's continuing campaign of violence against its own people," she said, adding that reports of attacks against election monitors were "particularly troubling."
