By A Correspondent| Zimbabwe has been shamed by the United Nations for voting against a UN resolution on responsibility to protect and prevent genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.

Of the 158 countries that voted, 115 voted YES, 15 including Zimbabwe, China, Russia, Bolivia, Egypt and many others.

Now Zimbabweans have come guns blazing against the government for its decision to back genocide and war crimes.

Former tourism minister Walter Mzembi said Zimbabwe missed an opportunity to brand itself as a genuine New Dispensation.

“Mugabe, Stalin,Mao, Chavez, Castro, Sung , etc for all the listed NOs would have objected even today. They rule from their graves. An opportunity for Zimbabwe to Rebrand itself and affirm its ” New Dispensation ” tag has been missed , Nothing New,” said Mzembi.

Kent University lecturer, Alex Magaisa said Zimbabwe had exhibited traits of the old order by continuing to associate with the bad boys gang.

“2018 I had a conversation with a diplomat at the UN in New York. He said the “New Dispensation” was going to take a new direction in international relations by ditching the image of being with the “bad boys gang”. It would abstain rather than vote. But some things never change,” said Magaisa.
