“He urges the Government of Zimbabwe to respect the basic principles of freedom of expression and assembly as well as the human rights of those participating in the mass action, and to exercise maximum restraint in dealing with the situation,” the statement said.
“The Secretary-General reiterates his continued support for and readiness to contribute to the search for a negotiated solution of the serious difficulties facing the country,” the statement added.
Everything will be fine. We just need to get around a table with these people. This total and complete willfull ignorance in the face of the realities in places like Zimbabwe are what have totally soured me on the UN.

While you talk Mugabe's thugs kill.
