Mugabe stumbles on speech at UN

President Robert Mugabe stumbled along while reading his speech, with audible glitches, unfamiliar for the 91 year-old normally alert and fluent when making presentations, NewZimbabwe reported.

"The uneven progress made within…..the uneven progress made within and among countries…..and among the regions has widened inequalities and in some cases deepened poverty," Mugabe said uncharacteristically repeating phrases and getting all tangled up as he shuffled his speech.

The president was addressing joint committees of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Summit ahead of the general assembly in Washington early Saturday.

Two weeks ago, Mugabe shocked Zimbabweans and embarrassed the country after reading his State of the Nation Address while officially opening Parliament's 3rd session.

He had presented the SONA speech on August 26 at the national assembly.
