Mbeki hails 'democratic victory' of Hamas
South African President Thabo Mbeki has congratulated the radical Hamas movement for winning this week's legislative elections in Palestine and also praised the moderate outgoing rulers, Fatah, for accepting the "freely expressed voice" of the people. In his regular internet column, ANC Today, Mbeki paid special tribute to Fatah and the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) -- led until his death in November 2004 by Yasser Arafat -- "with whom we have shared the same trench of struggle for many years".....and probably the same illness. Balance of this kak at the link.
