According to a Reuters article, Bishop Desmond Tutu said that the international community has a right to override the sovereignty of Zimbabwe and intervene in the internal domestic affairs of the country.
Hmmm.
Tutu, what side were you on in Iraq?
The UN had resolutions demanding Saddam comply, he refused, he was killing his people, slaughtering them, forcing them to vote, with him as the only candidate, defying the world body ... and he had a desire/interest and ability to develop weapons of mass destruction.
Saddam was, in 100 ways, worse than Mugabe ... yet you call for the international body to intervene in Zimbabwe ...
Hmmm.
World has right to intervene in Zimbabwe: Tutu
Friday, June 28, 2008
LONDON (Reuters) - The world has the right to override Zimbabwe's sovereignty to intervene in its crisis and should consider banning flights as a step to bring pressure, Archbishop Desmond Tutu said on Friday.
The South African Nobel Peace Prize laureate spoke in an interview broadcast after President Robert Mugabe defied world opinion to hold an election in which he was the only candidate. The opposition withdrew over attacks on its supporters.
Tutu told Britain's Channel 4 television that the "international community has the right now to override the sovereignty argument of the country.
"A government has the obligation to protect its citizens. If it will not protect them then or it is unable to do so then the international community knows now that it has an instrument to intervene to ensure that a situation does not deteriorate further," he said.
Tutu has said he favours the deployment of international peacekeepers to Zimbabwe, suffering economic collapse after 28 years of Mugabe's rule as well as the political crisis.
