In a slightly more presidential manner, especially for Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, while speaking at the UN World Food Summit on food security in Rome, Mr. Mugabe highlighted climate change as one of the main problems facing food security in Africa.

However, and to no one’s surprise, he later blames sanctions imposed by western powers for the economic and food crisis his country faces.

Although the European Union has put restrictions on Mugabe’s travel to EU countries, he is allowed to attend meetings under the auspices of the United Nations.
