Washington condemns Mugabe

The United States reacts to Mugabe's inhuman excesses:

"The United States condemns the government of Zimbabwe for these actions," McCormack said in a statement. "They have left hundreds of thousands without shelter or income and cannot be justified."
"Zimbabwe's economic decline cannot be reversed by heavy-handed crackdowns on the poor."
…McCormack said, "The targets of this onslaught are the poorest of Zimbabwe's poor, who are already victimized by unemployment and food shortages."

The UK joins in:

Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said he deplored the "horrific and ruthless actions of the Zimbabwean Government, who have ruined the lives of thousands of innocent families, condemning them to homelessness".

But the key of course is Thabo Mbeki; will Tony Blair listen to Kate Hoey?

Tony Blair must take a harder stance against South Africa's failure to condemn Zimbabwe, says a Labour MP.
Kate Hoey was speaking after secretly visiting Zimbabwe to report for BBC Newsnight on how people are being forced to demolish illegal houses.
She said Mr Blair should stop South African President Thabo Mbeki from attending the G8 summit unless he condemns the Zimbabwe "excesses".
