Mugabe named as goodwill ambassador by WHO

The World Health Organization (WHO) has appointed President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe as a "goodwill ambassador" to help tackle non-communicable diseases.

Please tell me this is a April fools joke because I find this a good example of madness!

He'll probably get a thumbs up from Trump...

...from the rest of the sane world, this appointment will get a resounding, "What the Hell?!?"...

The first thing I said to myself when I read it in the news, was Why ?
What is the reason for this promotion ?

Is there a hidden agenda behind this ?

From my knowledge WHO should be neutral in everything-political and religious.
