British Foreign Secretary David Miliband on Sunday called on the international community to unite in condemning the re-election of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and said the opposition should now come to power. Miliband, who is in South Africa for talks with the government, visited a church in Johannesburg that houses thousands of refugees from neighbouring Zimbabwe, and said the world had to act together to end their hardships.
'No one who meets the people here could do anything other than redouble their efforts to secure international consensus that the Mugabe regime is not a legitimate representation of the will of the people of Zimbabwe,' Miliband said on Radio 702. 'It is imperative that a government be formed with respect to the 29th of March result because this is now a crisis and it's affecting the whole of southern Africa,' Miliband said. |
