UK Caused Cholera(Genocidal Terrorism), says Zimbabwe
Source: BBC

The cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe which has left hundreds dead was caused by the UK, an ally of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has said.

Information Minister Sikhanyiso Ndlovu described the outbreak as a "genocidal onslaught on the people of Zimbabwe by the British".

On Thursday, Mr Mugabe said the spread of cholera had been halted.

But aid workers warned that the situation was worsening and the outbreak could last for months.

In his comments to media in Harare, Mr Ndlovu likened the appearance of cholera in Zimbabwe to a "serious biological chemical weapon" used by the British.

He described it as "a calculated, racist, terrorist attack on Zimbabwe".

Mr Mugabe has already accused Western powers of plotting to use cholera as an excuse to invade and overthrow him.

Earlier on Friday a senior South African Anglican bishop said that Mr Mugabe should be seen as a "21st Century Hitler".

1. Mugabe is delusional beyond belief if he really believes everyting
he's been saying all these years. What's even more unbelievable is how this guy has managed to avoid being overthrown or assassinated by his own people.

2. It really is unbelievable.
It is to the point that I am amazed that outside forces haven't removed him from power, yet. It is well pass due.
