A UN investigation yesterday denounced Robert Mugabe's slum clearance operation, which has left hundreds of thousands of people homeless, as a "catastrophe" that violated international law.I guess they're supposed to get the bootstraps out? So now these people who had nothing to begin with have less than nothing now? Not even a home to go to? Why hasn't this been in the MSM?
The UN's 98-page report concluded that 2.4 million people had been affected, of whom 700,000 had lost their homes or livelihoods or both, in a humanitarian crisis of "immense proportions".
It called for an immediate halt to any further demolitions and for Zimbabwe to allow unhindered access to the international and humanitarian community to provide assistance.
I guess Israel's policies are catching on. What's next, razing homes for economic development in the US? Oh, wait, the Court already ruled that's ok.
I want to hear a condemnation from Washington, but wouldn't that be hypocritical. (I guess that's never stopped us before.)
