Archbishop Tutu calls for a peace-keeping force to be sent to Zimbabwe

ARCHBISHOP Desmond Tutu called upon the international community to send a peace keeping force to Zimbabwe as he led a call for freedom in oppressed countries during a service at St Martin-in-the-Fields in London on June 9.

He said: “What’s happened? It’s a dream turned into the most horrendous nightmare. And we still say ‘for goodness sake Mr President, you’ve been president for 20 years, that’s enough! How about stepping down? The people have said thank you for everything that you did but you’ve mucked up. You’re culpable horrendously. Step down.’

“And I want to repeat my appeal to the international community, the UN, for goodness sake send a peace keeping force to ensure that people are not victimised in the way that- we know they are!”

The Archbishop spoke at a service where he blessed three Zimbabwean statues of the Holy Family and celebrated a new room named after him.
