Mugabe is a monkey compared to King Mohammed!
An honorary degree is not a real degree!


Mugabe holds several honorary degrees and doctorates from international universities, awarded to him in the 1980s; at least three of these have since been revoked. In June 2007, he became the first international figure ever to be stripped of an honorary degree by a British university, when the University of Edinburgh withdrew the degree awarded to him in 1984. On 12 June 2008, the University of Massachusetts Amherst Board of Trustees voted to revoke the law degree awarded to Mugabe in 1986; this is the first time one of its honorary degrees has been revoked. Similarly, on 12 September 2008, Michigan State University revoked an honorary law degree that it awarded Mugabe in 1990.

King Mohammed of Morocco obtained his PhD in law with distinction on 29 October 1993 from the French University of Nice Sophia Antipolis for his thesis on "EEC-Maghreb Relations

Not only that his Bio suggest he has been an overwhelming force for good in the country.

My concern re: African governments and oil companies was sparked by the article in the New York Times on Monday. However I stand by what I said about the King and the Moroccan government. I think you'll find the king is behind the new government and the stability following the collapse of the coalition.
