Shame, Shame on Mugabe








News reports on NPR and BBC today highlight the Shame of Southern Africa: Mugabe's indifference to the pain and suffering of the people of Zimbabwe, his infatuation with power, his ruination of the economy is seen in the hands and faces of the women and children. These photographs are of people finding crumbs of food lying in the dirt, digging undigested corn kernels out of cow dung and washing them before cooking. Has Mugabe no shame, no conscience?
