Zimbabwe: UN 'duped' into condemnation of violence

Zimbabwe’s UN ambassador says a US and British-led conspiracy fooled the UN Security Council into concluding the violence gripping his nation has made it impossible to hold a fair presidential election.

“We see the international community, the Security Council, has been duped into believing that there is lawlessness in Zimbabwe and the opposition cannot campaign, which is not true,” Boniface Chidyausiku said last night.
