IOL : Lift Zim curbs or it's war, Nujoma warns EU

So Bobby Mugabe has his friends, one of whom is the President of Namibia. And he "warned" the EU that if they didn't lift sanctions against Zimbabwe that the African Union would levy sanctions on Europe. Europe is really scared, I'm sure.

While the history of European interference in Africa is horrific, there's a real hypocrisy to the attitude seen here. The African leaders didn't have any problem with imposing sanctions on the Apartheid regime in South Africa. Apparently, it's okay to interfere in the internal government of white-dominated regimes. (To make clear: I approved of the sanctions on South Africa to end apartheid, and I approve of the sanctions on Mugabe now.)

Also, Mugabe referred to Zimbabwe as his personal property.
