when africa wonders why they are poor, wonders why they are marginalised, wonders why they are not taken very seriously, they need to understand themselves and their failure to adopt suitable standards that are the norm in western culture. Ian Smith was right about africa, we dont know how to govern ourselves. too bad Zimbabwe will have nothing in two years time, nothing at all, except an elite of black military and dictators.too bad the rest of the world doesnt care. There is no oil or weapons of mass destruction. The only solution is civil war. Let it be brutal and violent so that africa is again reminded that its he that holds the gun is the winner of any election but that it wont last too long. Sad.

I am not sure what the world is waiting for here but Zimbabwe needs you now not later. Mugabe is a fraud and this election is then you allow Mbeki do the talking which well I am sure is loyal to Mugabe. Please now for the people of Zimbabwe send in a military force that will actually protect the people there from this terror . Do not await for news about what is going on get in there and do something about it!

This election clearly was won by the opposition now as we set on out behinds and do nothing Mugabe is already at work with his terror regime there...

Please put a stop to this and Mugabe....

africa is for african so whites you should live africa alone only you want is to make us fight each other then you grab the steak

When army personnel takes over the running of a country, we call it a coup. why is the international community not taking heed of this and start mobilizing to circumvent the possible atrocities far devastating than Gukurahundi ever was or the Genocide in Burundi and Rwanda. The situation in Zimbabwe is right in the open and we now know why Mugabe ordered weapons from China. What are we waiting for?

What kind of military will take aim and kill its own populace except for a military that is corrupt and has something to loose. That makes this military a junta military and not a military of the people. Given that senario, the people of Zimbabwe have the right to defend themselves against the junta military by taking arms...Mugabe must know that if he tries to kill his own people using the military, a condition that existed pre-independence will happen where the "rebels" took to the bushes and wage a war against the oppressors. Zimbabweans will go to the bushes and wage war against the military and Mugabe. THis they will not be expecting the Zimbabwean mass to do. There will be an all out bloody civil war that Mugabe and his crooked generals will be shocked to find themselves in.

Let it be clear to the Military Mugabe and the so called war veterans, we the people of Zimbabwe will make ourselves veterans of the third Chimurengaa Zimbabwe is not for sale to Mugabe and his cronies the Chinese. We are ready to fight for our country, for our dignity and right to live in a prosperous country.

Long live Zimbabwe for the Zimbabweans.

John Allen's story does not make sense whatsoever. How can Mugabe's people claim that a terror campaign is under way in Zimbabwe and tell this, to a white anglo!!! I don't believe your article, it is just not true what you are writing. Zanu-pf members also believe in self-preservation and this would be out of character for them to admit guilty..especially to a white anglo!!! I don't think so. You are free to write that a terror of campaign is underway in Zimbabwe .....But to say that Zanu-pf gave that messege to you sounds more like the idiotic anglo propaganda...Come on...you are lying (your are a liar!!!)

It's typical lies,lies,lies!
