FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The move prompted outrage from politicians and human rights activists who
claimed that the UN had effectively endorsed someone who authorised mass
murder and brought his country to the point of economic ruin as a “tourism
ambassador”.
The UN insists that it conferred no official status on Mr Mugabe and that many
other heads of state had received the open letter.
But Zimbabwe’s state media lost little time in adding “special tourism
ambassador” to President Mugabe’s list of honorifics, while Canada said
the UN’s sentiment was clear.
“They were legitimising him by enlisting Mugabe to promote tourism,”
Mr Baird’s spokesman Joseph Lavoie said. “In our view that makes him a
small ‘a’ ambassador.”
In the United States, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the House Foreign Affairs chairman,
accused the UN of “propping up dictators”.
“The UN has hit a new low with naming Mugabe as a UN tourism envoy as if
North Korea chairing the Conference of Disarmament and Cuba serving as
vice-president of the Human Rights Council had not been enough,” she
said in a statement.
“The continued rewards the UN bestows upon the world’s dictators has
reached the point of absurdity. An organisation devoted to world peace and
stability is propping up and aiding the very regimes that oppose such ideals.”
In Europe, Scottish National Party MEP Alyn Smith wrote to Baroness Ashton to
ask her to protest the UN action.
“It also makes absolutely no sense,” he wrote. “As one of the
world’s most barbarous dictators, Mugabe has wrecked his own tourist
industry and brought Zimbabwe to the edge of economic ruin. He consistently
betrays human rights, has defied democracy and uses violence to hang on to
power.
“Mugabe is not a global tourist leader. Indeed, as an international
pariah, he is exactly the opposite.”
Walter Mzembi, Zimbabwe’s Tourism Minister, described Canada’s behaviour as “childish”.
