CHINA has caved in to international pressure and recalled the 'ship of shame' carrying an arms shipment for Zimbabwe, which has been sitting on a time bomb since the March 29 presidential and parliamentary elections.
Awt-independent; get it right for the first time on blaming Britain and its cousins on Zim’s situation. Firstly it is evident that the Zimbabwean electorate no longer has total faith in the future of Mugabe administration, I don’t, my leader has seen his golden days and the sun is setting on him. Change is definitely coming. It is that change which the gluttonous British and their kith and kin want to take advantage of after having been overwhelmed by Mugabe on African land repossession. Britain and America virtually control all international finance institutions through their structures. Since 1997 IMF/World Bank suspended balance of payment support to Zimbabwe through British influence and economically, the effects on loans for national energy affects industrial production and ordinary man. In 2002 USA through Zimbabwe Democracy Bill instructed all International banks not to vote for loans/grants/credits advanced to Zimbabwe, this included even African/Asian Development Banks. There is no business that can take place when a country once colonized for 100 years by the same system can prosper; it has to start from ground. Since land was taken from the minority white settlers to the majority blacks indigenous, Tony Blair took it upon himself and his tabloids to demonise our national leadership so as to scare any would be future business partner for Zimbabwe and tourists who brought more revenue. Blair had the temerity to approach rival Gaddafi and African leaders to stop doing business with Zimbabwe. Why would this prophet of doom called Blair take his time to denounce a mismanaged economy that will fall on its own? Mbeki is writing a book after his term in office – today it’s about diplomacy. We were told its all about Mugabe and his cronies, what nonsense! Individuals can have houses anywhere in the world without affecting national economy. Was it about Lady Grace Mugabe who shops too much they said, what crap! My uncle runs a shop with more than 20000 dresses and shoes, if he closes shop the country’s economy does not feel a pinch! The world’s largest population is in transit so why the heck about Mugabe traveling if the whole world is traveling? Grounding Mugabe does not stop planes from flying, Europe and USA are afraid of the amount of influence this african intellectual will impart to the people at their door step. This British and American propaganda can only expose how foolish they think about African intellect. Our resources are at stake here, not dresses, houses nor bank accounts. It is the land, the mines and our industry that is being trodden. Since land repossessing, all British and American exporting business in Zimbabwe transferred their head offices down South Africa and established sister companies that imported mining and manufactured goods from Zimbabwe at under-invoiced petty prices. Our country has since been robbed of hard currency revenue through central bank. While UN gives assistance to health and education to the 3rd world and Zimbabwe is being skipped citing the preposterous good governance mantra. Is it not that health aid must increase where there is crisis? Why don’t we see humanitarian aid if Zimbabwe is so miserably managed? Blair and Brown talk of war and intervention very loud and clear while those non governmental organisations that are fed by their dirty money ululate. Yes, we have been facing a crisis for ten years thanks to your Brits. To my utter dismay, there are countries that receive enormous aid and having their debt cut but with their “good governance” can not meet the poor standards of ridiculed Zimbabwe today. I am forced to blame Mugabe right? Zimbabwe, being a pioneer land reclamation nation, is facing undue attention and needs to arm itself to the teeth. The west knows that the guns shipment is meant to kill those who are waiting to grab land for the second time that is why they are making scathing noise about Chinese shipment. Zimbabwe’s peace will be disturbed once those erstwhile enemies are back in town. For those who have chosen to dine and wine with the swine who robbed us of our essential human history – shame on you! They can hang as many of our prophets but they can not stop the tide of absolute freedom. This is the war we are to win, a war for everyone oppressed of their rights of creation. God created people need God given opportunities. Why do we have to fight the British in our own land? Why is British Europe so much interested in us? We are not having leaders killed in the streets like in Pakistan but Musharaff will address European business meetings after Bhutto is lifeless! Mugabe who wants to stick to the country’s laws is a despot! It is time Britain start to lobby for the rights of aborigines of Australia, Maoris of New Zealand, Red Indians of North America and then, we will take him seriously in Zimbabwe. Fairly through this revolution Mugabe has made mistakes as he is human but his mistakes are mistakes of our leader, mistakes to correct the anomaly left by British colonial establishment, mistakes we are proud to call them our mistakes. Hands off Zimbabwe. One Soul Africa!
Onesoulzim1, who killed some thousands of DEFENSELESS Zimbabweans in Mandebeleland just 20 years ago not to mention the deaths currently perpetrated on people in rural areas who voted for the opposition? I suppose if the killings are done by Mugabe and his followers and it does not involve deaths of any members of your family then it is ok. You are only concerned about protecting THINGS.What about protecting HUMAN LIFE. Why live in fear of the West? They will take THINGS from us and we too will take THINGS from them - that is trade. Our African governments and peoples are not dumb as to allow plundering by the West. I know even South Africa is trading with the West left right and center - Is Mbeki stupid?
