Dictator of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe (with Hitler-esque mustache). |
Here is text from the leaked cable which was written in September 2000. The memo records a meeting between a US embassy official in Harare and a senior source in the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), the party opposed to Mugabe's Zanu-PF.
1. (S) According to Elton Mangoma, MDC-T Minister of Economic Development and member of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's inner circle, the MDC would like the U.S. to contribute to a "trust fund" to buy off securocrats and move them into retirement.
It was also reported that the UN planned to ask Germany and the United Kingdom to contribute to the so called "trust fund".
