Brussels, 01/10/2002 (Agence Europe) - During a press conference, British Conservative Charles Tannock gave his support and that of his colleague, Geoffrey Van Orden, to the "Save Zimbabwe" campaign which, as stressed by his coordinator, Terence Fane-Saunders, does not focus on the fate of 4,000 white farmers who only represent a small minority of the six million people who have fallen victim to the Mugabe regime. Mr Fane Saunders explained that the campaign aims to restore human rights and democracy in Zimbabwe by making African countries more responsible, and to make Europe and the United States use their influence so that the community of African States understands that it must act if it wishes to "free the country from this monster". Mr Fane-Saunders acknowledged the purpose of the targeted sanctions adopted by the European Union against Mr Mugabe, his government and the ZANU-PF leaders, but he hoped that the shortcomings would be filled (he cited the case of a senior police official who took part in the Interpol meeting in France). Zimbabwean trade unionist Ephraim Tapa recalled the remarks made at the Johannesburg Summit by Mr Mugabe who said: "leave me with my Zimbabwe" and who ruled out all form of opposition in his country. The events in Zimbabwe have nothing to do with land reform, but is "political terrorism", said the former trade union leader who went to the United Kingdom as a refugee after being tortured in his country for having criticised the regime. There is no colonial war, he continued, adding: "the only fight today is between a tyrant and the people who are suffering under his law". He went on to stress that six million people are today suffering from hunger in a country that is particularly fertile and that one minister recently declared that it was not of great importance if they died if it "allows us to remain with six million politically correct people" (Ed. The country has 12 million inhabitants).
