From the London Daily Telegraph, in all its naked glory:

African countries sparked outrage [Thurs]day after they nominated President Robert Mugabe's regime for the leadership of a United Nations body charged with protecting the environment and promoting development.

Zimbabwe, which is enduring economic collapse and environmental degradation, could become chairman of the UN's Commission on Sustainable Development when a formal vote of its 53 members takes place today. ...

Zimbabwe's economy is collapsing, with inflation of 2,200% - the highest in the world. Households can expect just four hours of electricity a day. This has encouraged deforestation, with large areas being stripped of wood for light and heating. Mr Nhema, 48, benefited from Mr. Mugabe's wholesale seizure of white-owned land. The minister, who was educated at Strathclyde University, was handed Nyamanda farm near Karoi, a once thriving enterprise producing tobacco and maize. Most of its 2,500 acres are now lying idle.

Mr. Nhema is also in charge of Zimbabwe's national parks, where wildlife has been decimated by poaching.

Speaks for itself, doesn't it?
