– When Mugabe Was Received at City Hall –

Might Mr. Barron harbor second thoughts about having brought Mr. Mugabe into City Hall?
“Absolutely not,” the councilman said.

“Does he do things that I disagree with? Yes,”
Mr. Barron said.
But he clearly still regards Mr. Mugabe as a liberator more than an oppressor.

“You didn’t care about black Africans when whites were killing them in Rhodesia,” he said. As he sees it, the real reason that Mr. Mugabe has come under strong attack from the West is the confiscation of white-owned farms.
