Minister Shamu blames West for Togo attack
West responsible... Webster Shamu INFORMATION and Publicity Minister, Webster Shamu has blamed Western Countries for the deadly gun attack on Togo's team bus which killed three people and left several others injured just before the start of the Nations Cup Finals in Angola.
Separatist rebels machine-gunned the team bus as it crossed into Angolas oil-rich but restive territory of Cabinda killing the driver, a press officer and the teams assistant coach. Togo subsequently withdrew from the tournament.
However, speaking during a Sports Writers Forum on Tuesday, Minister Shamu said Zimbabwe strongly condemned the attack which he claimed was an attempt by Western countries to disrupt the World Cup finals due to start in South Africa in June.
"We condemn in the strongest terms the attack on the Togo team. This is the work of the enemy who is trying to cast a dark shadow over the World Cup in South Africa.
Its the work of the western nations. The whole aim is to cast a dark shadow over the world cup," Shamu said.
The incident precipitated concerns in western media over security arrangements for the World Cup but South African officials condemned the speculation saying it was unfair to use the horrific attacks to undermine Africas first World Cup finals.
"Every country's responsibility is to safeguard the event in their country so South Africa has nothing to do with the deployment of the forces in Angola.
Fortunately the majority of the world is not influenced by warped understanding of the African continent. If there is a war in Kosovo and a World Cup in Germany, no-one asks if the World Cup can go on in Germany.
"Everyone understands the war in Kosovo is a war in Kosovo, Danny Jordan, head of the World Cup organising committee said.
