Mugabe in Rome for food summit


A very angry post.

Quite how Mr Mugabe managed to wangle an invite to the United Nations food summit in Rome begers belief.

Despite the fact that he is banned from entering Eu territory,it seems UN events are exempt.

Besides that the supreme irony of a man who has turned one of Africa's food exporters into one of its largest imports dependent on foreign aid.

In its capital Harare,two million residents survive on one meal a day and 305 of children under 5 are malnourished.It is estimated that 3.5 million have fled the country to escape malnutrition and poverty.Inflation is running at an official rate of 165,000 % and besides food shortages,there are fuel and material shortages.

So what is this man going to contribute to the debate?
