Mugabe: “There Is No Cholera”

In a televised speech to his nation, Marxist Dictator Robert Mugabe declared the deadly cholera epidemic ravaging Zimbabwe is over.

Moments later, the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs announced 783 have died and 16,403 are infected with the water-borne disease.

“I am happy to say that our doctors, who are being assisted by other and the WHO, have now arrested cholera,” Mugabe pronounced to cheers. “So now there is no cholera, there is no cause for war”. Mugabe cited British PM Gordon Brown and US President George W. Bush’s calls for regime change in Zimbabwe were now unwarranted. African leaders, including Kenyan PM Raila Odinga, South Africa political party COPE and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have also called for Mugabe to step down.

The WHO estimates as many as 60,000 may become infected by cholera in Zimbabwe. The disease has been created to due unsanitary conditions and dirty water, the result of a crumbling infrastructure under the Mugabe regime.
