The only reason Mugabe travels to these conferences is because it lends credibility to his vicious regime.

He lost the election but remains in power. Through a mixture of corruption and vengeance he has caused a completely unnecessary famine that leaves millions hungry and is destabilizing the surrounding nations. Where once he might have been seen as an African hero, he is now just another dictator, crushing the peasants to maintain his luxurious life.

No one else is happy to be seen with Mugabe in their country. Allowing him into Qatar is a mistake. You can't have him wandering freely around Doha without people saying that you endorse him as an international leader.

He should be locked up for what he's done to his country.
