Mugabe Wikileaks cables now at 200 with 500 more to go

President Robert Mugabe has been at the helm of the country since February 1980. During the first decade he was revered and honoured as one of Africa’s foremost leaders. His star started fading during the second decade. In the third decade he became one of the most hated leaders in the world, sometimes only second to Saddam Hussein. But he has survived it all and is into his fourth decade as leader. Our initial search showed that there are 756 cables on him. Here are the first 204.

This is our ninth month of continuously publishing Wikileaks cables. You might ask, why are so interested in old news. Simple. History has a way of repeating itself. When you read the cables, you might think some of them were written yesterday.

We have now published more than 1400 Wikileaks cables on Zimbabwe alone. But here are first 1 300 so far put on a single page.

We have classified the cables according to individuals. To read cables on each individual, please use our index:
