THE NEWLY 'appointed' Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga's characterisation that the political crisis in Zimbabwe is an embarrassment to Africa deserves some scrutiny.
Itayi Garande (Zimbabwe Monitor) You have some very good points concerning the double-faced character/personality of Raila Odinga. He has certainly contributed to (if not supported) the election genocides recently committed in Kenya. We are bracing ourselves for more such violence in future -- now that we have a Prime Minister with a terribly indiscreet mouth.
However TWO WRONGS WILL NEVER MAKE A RIGHT. Zimbabwe must resolve its own election mess without making any comparisons to Kenya (or any other nation). Therefore this kind of free punching of insults, comparative negatives and sneering comments -- is not the best manner to handle our current problems anywhere in Africa (or beyond). You and Raila sound like two mad men loudly comparing their tattered clothing in the market place.
We all need move to a more contructive level for the sake of future generations in Africa. Thank you.
Thaaaai Thaaaai (peace and blessings) to the nation to Zimbabwe. Amen
This writer is truly biased. While i agree with the fact that Odinga should look at his country first before criticising others- He is telling the truth " Zimbabwe i.e mugabe and zanu is an embarrasment to Africa. The writer did not point this out, we need to acknoledge and be greatful when others speakout for us since the rest of Africa is quiet while our families are being tortured and murdered.
Why does this author not speak out against zanu as a zimbabwean? those zanu pf have brought our country down from being a proud nation. WHY ITAYI? U ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS IN ZIMBABWE THAT HAVE NO FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. MAYBE U ARE ZANU TOO?????????
