My Lords, does my noble friend agree that so much of the good in Africa is drowned out by the image of Mugabe's Zimbabwe? Does my noble friend detect in his contact with not only with the African Development Bank but also regional leaders a recognition that Mugabe, having destroyed his economy and killed so many of his people, is marring the image and investment opportunities of the region as a whole? If there is such recognition, what is being done about it?
