Washington - The departure of Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe would be in "the best interests of everyone", US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in an interview distributed here on Wednesday.
Clinton also told South African state television that the United States would not resume aid to the Zimbabwean government as long as it could not be sure it would reach the people concerned.
"I think that would be in the best interests of everyone," Clinton told her interviewer who asked "would you like to see President Mugabe go first before you can come in"?
Mugabe recently admitted that as long as he remains in power no aid will be channeled into the country by Britain and the US. The western community has pledged to cough billions into the shattered economy if Mugabe exhibits change but that he is allergic to change is as obvious as one's nose as evidenced by fresh farm invasions.
Despite the broad smile, his fist remains clenched a sign that he still wields excess power which critics say is a deterent to donors and investors.

The old man is not serious about reforms, there is no teaching an old dog new tricks. Remember that he said he is still the executive president with two executive deputies
ReplyDeleteMugabe must go.... that's an old tired song. That man wont go and we just have to live with that fact, we have to get used to the idea that he is there until God does His will and saves us
