The President of South Africa (February 20, 2003)
Mr. Thabo M. Mbeki

Ref: The brutal African States Alliance on Human Rights violations:

Dear Sir:

The least we can say about what appears to be an outright and transparent alliance between the South African government and the Zimbabwean regime of Robert G. Mugabe, is that the people of Zimbabwe and maybe some of South Africa too, will soon rise up to this outrageous behavior lead and condoned by some or most of our African leaders, as they continue to fool the world into believing that they are still fighting white colonialism, when infact their victims are dominantly the silenced black civilians.

Mr. Mbeki, we are appalled by your apparent ignorance and blatant support of the massive killings, torture and the evident genocide and war crimes perpetrations by the Zanu PF. Mugabe regime. Your efforts together with those of Olusegun Obasanjo, to hinder the constructive developments of your assigned Troika team on the Zimbabwe crisis, leave a lot to be desired and indeed are clear evidence of Africa’s dead leadership qualities.

The time to answer to such crimes of deceit will soon come and accountability will be demanded even from those who have been accessories before and after the facts.
