Zimbabwe’s leaders are now blaming Britain for the nation’s cholera outbreak, saying the British aim is to commit a “genocide.” The country’s information minister also said images of cholera victims broadcast on international news outlets are actually those of people from war-wracked Congo and Darfur.
“The cholera epidemic in Zimbabwe is a serious biological, chemical war force, a genocidal onslaught, on the people of Zimbabwe by the British. It’s a genocide of our people,” Information Minister Sikhanyiso Ndlovu told reporters.
“Cholera is a calculated, racist attack on Zimbabwe by the unrepentant former colonial power, which has enlisted support from its American and Western allies so that they can invade the country,” he said. Britain ruled the country as a colony until 1965.
Ndlovu — who said the country’s health system is working on the outbreak, which has claimed nearly 800 lives — called for British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to “be taken to the United Nations Security Council for being a threat to world peace and planting cholera and anthrax to invade Zimbabwe — our peaceful Zimbabwe.
Sigh.
