Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Blaker (Conservative). It was answered by Lord Bach (Labour) on Monday, 30 June 2008.


Zimbabwe

Question
What is their assessment of the incoming Government of Zimbabwe.
Answer

My Lords, it is clear to the world that the so-called election last Friday was a complete sham and that, as African observers have already said, it did not reflect the will of the people. It is not surprising that Morgan Tsvangirai and the MDC felt that they had to withdraw, given the horrendous levels of violence and intimidation. We will continue to press for a resolution that reflects the political choice of the people as they voted on 29 March.
