Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has has been criticized by House of Lords member, Kate Hoey, and pro-democracy groups for shaking hands with Zimbabwean President Mnangagwa at a summit in Kigali, Rwanda.
The two shook hands Tuesday, exactly three years after Mugabe’s death.
Hoey described Mnangagwa as a human rights abuser saying Blair was not supposed to shake hands with him.
In a tweet, Hoey said, “What on earth was Tony Blair doing being so close up and personal with the human rights abuser @edmnangagwa. Zimbabwean people need help to ensure free and fair election next year not support for a neo dictator.”
