Human Rights Council

First Right of Reply of Zimbabwe to Special Rapporteurs

Mr. President, I would like to take the floor and thank the distinguished delegate from Germany who delivered the assessment on behalf of the EU – and I believe on behalf of the United Kingdom – for bringing up the Zimbabwe issue once again.  This has nothing to do with Human Rights in Zimbabwe, but its political lynching by evil forces or forces of evil.  Why talk of failure of Nurambachina [sp?]? Zimbabwe must have [inaudible] the grand racist designs by Britain. For us, we know that Nurambachina has been a great success and we continue to build in that success.
Some of the so called victims have been resettled at Forester Farm and I believe the Germans know what is the Forester Farm.  For the Brits, Forester Farm is being use to resettle the others; I refer you to document A/HRC/4/25 add 1, page 217.
If it was not for the function, the success story would be great in terms of resettling the so-called victims of Nurambachina.  On foot Mr. Presdient, we can never politicize that.  What we have politicized was the declaring of our stolen land because Zimbabwe is being selectively mentioned on critical developmental issues. Those who are doing so have no conscience.  We know their past and present human rights records.  For some, the genes of Nazism runs deep for the British, we say, you can never get it right in Zimbabwe.  Its foreign policy blunders all the time and we see it reflected in this house.  Zimbabwe is not for re-colonization.  We did away with the plunder of the theft that had gone on for more than a century.  Mr. President, we would like to ask Britain to look at its record today – the records of the Queen’s [inaudible] regiment in Basra.  I thank you.
