Protect resources, Zim army told

Tsvangirai slammed over 'God chosen remark'
Tsvangirai slammed over 'God chosen remark'

Zimbabwe's PM Morgan Tsvangirai has been criticised after telling a religious audience that he and President Robert Mugabe were chosen by God to lead the nation and that people should pray for them, a report says.

A dusty road leads to the village of Wedza, where veterans of Zimbabwe's liberation war eke out a meagre living on their farm cooperative, which after a promising start now brings only despair.

Harare - President Robert Mugabe on Tuesday urged the military to protect Zimbabwe's natural resources, as investigators look into worries that soldiers are involved in "blood diamond" trade.

"My message to you today is for you to remain loyal to your country and jealously guard its independence, sovereignty and natural resources," Mugabe said in an address to troops to mark Defence Forces Day.

"Remain wary of renewed subtle imperialistic efforts to dispossess us of the control of our natural resources."

The military has come under international criticism after investigators documented soldiers forcing villagers to mine diamonds in the eastern Marange diamond fields.

A monitor from the global diamond trade watchdog Kimberley Process was expected to visit the Marange fields on Tuesday to confirm whether abuses have ceased ahead of an authorised sale of diamond stocks in Harare on Wednesday.

The Kimberley monitor Abbey Chikane has previously certified Zimbabwe as meeting minimum human rights standards, but his report failed to convince all the members of the scheme, which has allowed the country to make two sales of existing diamond stocks.

Latest comment in Africa

rbczovczov says... Only a dumba$$ brings race into everything that goes wrong in the world. Why cant we just see it for what it is, a disgusting act perpetrated by a human being on a fellow human being. Rather than arguing who perpetrates the most crime black or white, africans or americans, we should be actually discussing ways we can all work together to combat crime in our country. Don't fold your arms and act like a bystander forgetting you also reside in Africa where you claim crime is worse than anywhere in the world, so you are also fair game for these criminals unless we fight them together. The finger-pointing must stop now!!! Read the article...
