Talk about whoppers! This one would make Rod Blagojevich blush.

A day after Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe claimed that the cholera outbreak in his country had been thwarted, in spite of confirmation from numerous sources it was claiming more victims, a member of the Mugabe regime claimed that cholera had been planted by Britain:

Information Minister Sikhanyiso Ndlovu described the outbreak as a “genocidal onslaught on the people of Zimbabwe by the British.”

In the meantime, the same BBC report linked above reports that, “a senior South African Anglican bishop said that Mr Mugabe should be seen as a ’21st Century Hitler.'” He asked for Anglicans in South Africa to pray for Mugabe’s removal from the Zimbabwean presidency. (Also see here.)

I am praying that God will set the wheels in motion to have Robert Mugabe and his military henchmen step down from power peacefully.
