Succour for Mugabe is shameful | The Observer

China and Russia argued that the Security Council is mandated to deal only with matters which threaten international peace and security and that regional efforts need time to work. But millions of Zimbabweans have been displaced to other countries in the region as a result of Mugabe's policies. Further, China's claim that sanctions would undermine the South African-mediated talks between the rival parties looks equally bogus. Mugabe has remained in power in part due to international inertia; the time for allowing him room for manoeuvre is over.
