Zimbabwe; LaRouche: "The British are Committing Fraud on a Gross Level"

01 Apr 2008

April 1, 2008 (LPAC)--The British are moving full steam ahead in their racist war against Africa, orchestrating a post-election destabilization of Zimbabwe, whose effects would extend far beyond its borders.

Taking the lead in this operation, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown issued a statement on the incomplete vote count, urging "that results come forward soon" as the world is watching closely, "wanting to be sure that everything is done fairly and in the right way," according to South Africa's Mail and Guardian. The Independent reports that Brown has held emergency talks with South African President Thabo Mbeki, a staunch supporter of Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe and of Zimbabwe's ruling Zanu-PF party. Brown also held talks with former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, who earlier this year attempted to mediate the post-election crisis in Kenya.

British Foreign Secretary David Miliband was deployed to Paris yesterday, where he met the foreign ministers of France, Italy, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain. This motley group appears to be a "coalition of the willing" of the EU. The gathering was described by the EUobserver.com as an "informal meeting" of seven EU foreign ministers to discuss the Zimbabwe situation. They said, "We call on the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission to swiftly announce all the election results, especially the results of the presidential election. The future of the Zimbabwean people depends on the credibility and transparency of the electoral process." Sources in Zimbabwe report that the situation is calm, and people are going about their business as usual. They know that the vote count will take a few days, and are simply waiting for the results. By contrast, the British-financed opposition and international media, especially British media, are laying the groundwork for a post-election crisis. The Zimbabwe Election Support Network (ZESN), one of the British-controlled NGO's (No Good Organizations), released an unofficial vote projection claiming that opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai received 49.4 and President Mugabe 41.8 percent. The ZESN is financed by the the British government-backed Westminster Foundation for Democracy, and the U.S. National Endowment for Democracy.

Meanwhile, British media are reporting rumors that the opposition leaders have gone underground. The Independent goes so far as to claim that Tsvangirai and Simba Makoni, the third candidate, met with security officials on Sunday. They add that neither Tsvangirai nor Mugabe has been seen since Saturday, and may have left the country. Other rumors are being spread that the country's military and security chiefs are debating whether to back Mugabe, or even take power themselves. All these rumors are being spread in order to make the military intervention planned by the British and EU, more credible.

Lyndon LaRouche said today, "The British are committing fraud on a gross level internationally, and no support should be given to the British on any of these issues: China, or Africa. Because the British are the perpetrators of crime in this case, therefore they have no right to have any recognition on these matters."
