The Archbishop of York, the second highest cleric in the Church of England, second only to the Archbishop of Canterbury, called for Mr Mugabe and his allies to be overthrown so they can stand trial in The Hague: “The time to remove them from power has come.”
The time has come for Robert Mugabe to answer for his crimes against humanity, against his countrymen and women and for justice to be done. The winds of change that once brought hope to Zimbabwe and its neighbours have become a hurricane of destruction with the outbreak of cholera, destitution, starvation and systemic abuse of power by the state. Robert Mugabe and his henchmen must now take their rightful place in The Hague and answer for their actions.
Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, said African nations should come together to use military force if Mr Mugabe refused to go. US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, agrees. She said it was “well past time” for Mr Mugabe to go.
UK PM Gordon Brown also agrees and called the Zimbabwean government a “blood-stained regime“: “We must stand together to defend human rights and democracy, to say firmly to Mugabe that enough is enough”
The spiritual leaders of the Church of England are crossing an ocean of blood to join the greatest mass murderers of our times in a spectacularly indecent show of hypocrisy. The notorious humanitarian interventions, sponsored by Human Rights Watch and welcomed by the lib-left intelligentsia, have finally got the blessing of the holy men.
The Church of England’s message is clear: in Iraq and Afghanistan they’re children of a lesser god.
