WHO Makes Robert Mugabe “Goodwill Ambassador,” Quickly Changes Mind After Racist Backlash Against “Nigger Savage”

There is no reason to believe that Robert Mugabe being a dictator or against human rights or whatever has to do with the fact that he’s black.

Also, no reason to think that this appointment was given to him out of anything other than confusion about who he was.

Robert Mugabe?

Maybe they meant to give the appointment to Robert Plant.

A totally different guy, who was also the frontman of a revolutionary group in the 1970s and is also named “Robert.”

Easy mistake to make.

Washington Post:

The World Health Organization has rescinded its appointment of Robert Mugabe, the longtime president of Zimbabwe, to a “goodwill ambassador” role.

WHO Director General Tedros Ghebreyesus said in a statement Sunday morning that he had “listened carefully to all who have expressed their concerns” in making his decision.

The appointment had provoked global head-scratching and outrage because of Mugabe’s track record of human-rights abuses, including violent crackdowns on political dissent, which had earned Zimbabwe international sanctions.

Unlike other African or black majority nation leaders, who are basically all really democracy human rights type guys.

The outcry rocketed around the world after this week’s announcement and seemed centered around one primary point: Can you be a “goodwill ambassador” if the world widely regards you as a violent, tyrannical despot?

Ghebreyesus, an Ethiopian who became the first African to hold the post this year, made the announcement earlier this week at a Uruguay conference on noncommunicable diseases, saying Mugabe would be an advocate for fighting diseases such as cancer and diabetes in Africa.

Ghebreyesus had described Mugabe’s Zimbabwe as “a country that places universal health coverage and health promotion at the center of its policies” and told attendees that Mugabe could use the role “to influence his peers in his region” on the issue.

The Noncommunicable Diseases Alliance — representing a lot of the other people at the conference where Mugabe’s appointment was announced — immediately condemned the move.

NCD members were “shocked and deeply concerned to hear of this appointment, given President Mugabe’s long track record of human-rights violations and undermining the dignity of human beings,” the alliance said in a statement. “. . . While we support WHO and Dr. Tedros in their ambition to drive the NCD agenda forward, we are unable to recognise President Mugabe as a champion for NCDs.”

The appointment “embarrasses” WHO and its director, said Iain Levine, program director for Human Rights Watch.

In a statement to the Associated Press, the U.S. State Department said “this appointment clearly contradicts the United Nations ideals of respect for human rights and human dignity.”

The unofficial response on Twitter was just as strong: “Who next, Kim Jong Un?” quipped one person, referring to the despotic president of North Korea.

Chill out, guys.

It was just a prank, bro.

No serious person on the planet thinks that Robert Mugabe is anything other than a backward, savage, subhuman animal.
