South Africa’s Archbishop Desmond Tutu has strongly criticised the failure of African leaders to condemn human rights violations.

In an interview with Reuters, Archbishop Tutu said he believed that many Zimbabweans felt betrayed by the failure of leaders in Africa to speak out against the campaign of political oppression being led by Robert Mugabe’s government in Zimbabwe.

He also said that South Africa should consider threatening action against Zimbabwe over the continued repression, heightened recently after police detained and beat opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai and other members of the Movement for Democratic Change. the rest
