The Bishop tell it like it is

The Archbishop of Canterbury issued a stinging attack on Robert Mugabe
yesterday, telling Zimbabweans they deserved better than to live under his
reign of terror and violence.

Aides described Dr Rowan Williams as giving the “sermon of his career”
during his controversial visit to Zimbabwe.

He told a congregation of more than 15 000 Anglicans that the tyrant’s
“lawless” regime was no better than the colonial misrule it had replaced.

Addressing a cheering crowd in a sports hall less than a mile from the
headquarters of the country’s ruling Zanu-PF party, Dr Williams said the
country’s natural wealth had been squandered and that the population lives
in “daily fear of attack”.
