Zimbabwe will return

Well, as we all suspected, the Zimbabwean opposition party says that when it comes to power it will restore the country's membership of the Commonwealth. The Movement for Democratic Change said that Mugabe's decision to leave the Commonwealth was:

clearly not in the interest of Zimbabwe and its people but is an attempt to avoid returning the country to democratic principles".

We congratulate the Commonwealth for standing firmly on the side of the people of Zimbabwe and strongly urge the rest of the international community not to be bullied into turning a blind eye to dictatorship, genocide, murder and torture under the guise of sovereignty. The decision by the Commonwealth (to suspend Zimbabwe's membership) confirms Mugabe's illegitimacy."
