| Mugabe denies having assets in foreign countries |
| 2008-07-16 |
| (Xinhua) -- President Robert Mugabe has said he has no assets in foreign countries and told the British and the European Union to seize any if they find them, according to a report by Zimbabwe's state-owned The Herald newspaper Tuesday. This report came after British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said on Monday that he had asked the British Finance Ministry to hunt down the assets of senior Zimbabwean officials and pledged to ramp up the illegal sanctions. The report quoted analysts as saying that Britain's move is aimed to help Zimbabwean opposition MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai, who won a leading number of votes in Zimbabwe's first round of presidential election but boycotted the run-off, citing violence against his supporters as the major reason. |

| #6 Try the British offshore banks in the Caribbean. Besides the Caymans, Bahamas, and Antigua, it is the BVI's largest industry. Mugabe sympathizers amongst former slaves have a lot of antipathy toward their former Colonizers. |

| #4 Maybe it's time to break the swiss banking systems back and get a look at what's really in there. I bet we'd all be floored. |

For the past 30 years, Comrade Mugabe's biggest 'asset' has been a feckless, guilt-ridden WEST, screaming apartheid and hellbent on native African governance. Buteo rufofuscus home to roost I'd say. |

| #2 Actually, that would probably be a Swiss warehouse. Just about enough to buy a pizza. And maybe a Coke... |

| #1 I guess that means he must have bags of Zimbucks stashed away in Swiss safety deposit boxes. |
