Zimbabwe’s President, Robert Mugabe has condemned the 2011 role of Nato in Libya leading to the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime and his eventually death in the hands of Libyan rebel forces.

Mr. Mugabe criticized the support some African countries gave Nato’s “no fly zone” decision describing it as “shameful and disgraceful”, the Herald newspaper reports.

Mugabe is reported to have raised these concerns at the official opening of the 67th World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Committee for Africa summit in Victoria Falls.

He is quoted as saying “The weakest of our world system is that when innocent countries are attacked, we fold our hands. I’m saying this off the cut because it worries me. Where are we going? Where is the world going?”

Nato’s no fly zone decision in 2011 didn’t get the needed support initially after China and Russia opposed the resolution.

Three African countries, South Africa, Nigeria and Gabon who sat on the UN Security Council however voted in favour of the resolution during a second round of voting.

“Then it came to us poor Africans. The Poor Africans, sometimes not thinking well about the consequences of those attacks. So, what did we have? Quite disgraceful and Shameful thing.” Mugabe said of the three African countries that voted in favour of the resolution.

The 93-year old Zimbabwean leader who was a good friend of the late Muammar Gaddafi said his friend “may have been a dictator but he was a friend of his people, a lover of his people, one who desired that his people should develop and not live under poverty…”

Mr. Mugabe said Gaddafi wanted to “democratise the African Union to be better politically and economically united”.
