Zimbabwe's controversial president Mugabe wins China's version of Nobel Peace Prize, The champ of the 2015 Confucius Accord Cost is Robert Mugabe, the admiral of Zimbabwe.

The Confucius Cost is China's acknowledgment to the Nobel Accord Prize. So at aboriginal blush, it seems a little ambagious that the accolade should go to the Zimbabwean strongman, rather than any of the added contenders (UN arch Ban Ki Moon; South Korea’s admiral Park Geun-Hye and Bill Gates.)

Mugabe is a above guerrilla fighter, who has disqualified Zimbabwe with an adamant anchor for 35 years. He has been accused of accouterment elections and accepting his opponents dead back the 1980s.

“I anticipate what the organizers of the cost accepted for Mugabe,” says Isaac Stone Fish, Asia editor for Foreign Policy magazine, “is that clashing bootless states like Libya, Syria or North Korea — even admitting they didn’t say that — Mugabe has managed to accumulate his country together.”

“They aswell gave him acclaim for getting an ability fighter,” adds Stone Fish.

“I will just yield a arguable yield on this one,” Stone Fish went on, “and say the organizers of this cost are accomplishing something brave, by speaking alfresco of what the government has sanctioned. Now, it may assume aberrant to altercate that application a accord cost to Mugabe is brave, but what they’re accomplishing is that they’re aggravating to alpha an alignment that advances their own views, as adjoin to the angle of Beijing. I anticipate Beijing’s mandarins, admiral in the party, would acquisition it awkward to in fact accolade Mugabe a prize. But these humans accept it and they’re appliance their appropriate of chargeless accent to do it.”

“It’s apparently not something they’re traveling to be accustomed to do for actual abundant longer, because how abundant awkward columnist it’s gotten. But I do accept to accord them account for that.”

“These are not dissidents,” says Stone Fish. “These are not humans who go adjoin the state. These are humans who go added in announcement the accompaniment than the accompaniment itself is adequate with.”

Previous winners of the Confucius Accord Cost cover Vladimir Putin, Fidel Castro and above UN arch Kofi Annan.
