Africas double standards

No surprise, double standards from the African Union (AU). Madagascar suspended from membership following the declaration of opposition leader Andry Rajoelina as president in what has been termed a civilian and military coup. But when Robert Mugabe bludgeoned his opponent, Morgan Tsvangirai, out of the Presidential race, in what was just as much a military coup as soldiers ousting an elected leader and handing the reigns of power to a civilian, the AU said Mugabe should go and negotiate with the opposition.And even when Mugabe continued violating agreements made in the negotiations, the AU remained mum and forced the opposition to accept an agreement that was watered down at every stage on Mugabe's demands.
Is color an issue here??

My pray today is for Mugabe to face the ICC
