The
Washington Post is reporting that the World Health Organization (WHO) has
gotten rid of Robert Mugabe as a “goodwill ambassador” to the
organization after only recently appointing him. Goodwill ambassadors are
supposed to provide an example and be a role model for humanity and to demonstrate
the organizations goals. However,
Mugabe, as president of Zimbabwe, as been a brutal dictator and has all but
destroyed the health care system in the country in addition to other problems
in the country. Mugabe doesn’t even use
Zimbabwe’s health care as he travels to other countries for operations and
checkups because of how bad the system is. Because of this he as been removed
from his post, which has been the source of a great deal of controversy ever since the
appointment and as such many are celebrating the rescinding of this appointment.
