Straw tells Africa to act

Finally someone is telling it as it is:

Brussels - British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw urged African leaders on Wednesday to condemn Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, saying they needed to acknowledge the "horror" he was perpetrating against his own people.
…
"The problem that we face is a lack of real commitment by all of Africa's leaders to recognise the scale of the horror that is taking place in Zimbabwe."

What is significant here, I think, is the timing: the 6th of July 2005 the G8 Summit will be held in Edimburgh where aid to developing countries will be at centre stage.
