FP notes that Big Bad Bob is hosting the North Korean football team for the World cup, and calls it a scandal, because:
In 1982, 20,000 Zimbabweans were slaughtered by the army in Matabeleland province. It just so happens that the army brigade responsible was trained by North Korean military advisors.
But the really sad thing about this is that the North Korean team are obviously being stashed in Zimbabwe because they won’t be able to make a break for it: the whole of the local security apparat will be on their tail. And the understandable fact that the locals don’t want them makes it an even more hostile environment.
