African Leaders Urged to end Zimbabwe Crisis

April 21st, 2008

Kenya’s newly appointed Prime Minister Raila Odinga has made a special appeal to African leaders to act swiftly and resolve the Zimbabwe post election crisis.

“African heads of state should use force if necessary to remove people like Mugabe from power, especially those who do not want to respect the people’s decision through the ballot,” Odinga said while speaking at a dinner party organized to celebrate his appointment for his new position.

Odinga was quoted by the local media as saying that, “age of dictators was long gone” and urged Zimbabwe’s president Robert Mugabe to stop interfering with the release of the election results which have been withheld for almost three weeks now.

Odinga promised to play a key role in letting Mugabe unite his people.

He said that democracy in Kenya had been made possible by the citizen’s resistance of bad governance.
