Delegates to a British Commonwealth conference on democracy and the media voted down a resolution to condemn Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe’s crackdown on independent media. The move was backed by Britain, India, and Australia. But African members of the Commonwealth lined up against it. ‘We should stick to our own theme of promoting relations between parliamentarians and the media and enhancing the free press and democracy,’ South African delegate Pule Malefane said.

Huh?
