Tsvangirai cannot and will never make his own decisions. You then start wonder how someone like that would be able to run a country. No leadership qualities at all. Zimbabweans shouldn't worry about the statement that UN has passed. Besides war, every action that can be taken againist Zimbabwe has already been taken. UN might only legalize the previously imposed illegal sanctions but that will not change the nature and effects of the sanctions in which we have been living in.

So someone told him to pull out of the election? You've been reading the herald too long I'm afraid.

well done Norman..very soon President Morgan T will be in power kicking some serious butts...including the skinny butt of that geriatric using up the country's supply of ARVs!! Oh yes..we know all about that too...he is infected with the deadly hence his hatred of gays!!!

Words cannot describe how truly pathetic this charaltan is.

It was and is obviously impossible to hold "free and fair" elections in Zimbabwe while the major Caucasian nations of America and Europe have imployed sanctions as a means to pressure the electorate into ousting the current government.

The correct name for this maneuver is called economics-induced regime change wherin the electorate is pressured to vote to "fix" the economy from the cripling effects of sanctions.

This technique has been employed countless times by American and European coalitions and anyone who denies this fact is simply being dishonest.

Sure! And it is also because the Americans and Europeans recently have seized all the farms in Zim that a food exporting nation has become a breadbasket. But at least not many countries can claim all their citizens are Millionaires. The Great Zimbabwe Ruins Part II, directed by R. Mugabe.

While it is true that the ruling government has presided over some fiscal mismanagement as well as its share of corruption, one cannot honestly ignore the affects of economic sanctions and other punitive monetary actions taken by American and England. These actions for the past 10 years have been obviously aimed at bringing down the government but has had severe effects on the common man and woman in a manner of economic terrorism. - Consider the following: - * In November 1998, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) implemented undeclared sanctions against Zimbabwe, by warning off potential investors, freezing loans and refusing to negotiate with Zimbabwean officials on the issue of debt. - * In 2001, the US passed the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act, which decreed that Mugabe could restore relations with international financial institutions only if he agreed to conditions on Zimbabwe’s rule of law, the presence of its troops in the Congo, and the conduct of its internal elections. The American law also instructed all US members of international financial institutions to oppose and vote against any extension of loans, credits or guarantees to Zimbabwe. - * In 2002, then British foreign secretary Jack Straw declared that Britain would ‘oppose any access by Zimbabwe to international financial institutions’. - * In 2002, British officials threatened to withdraw financial assistance to other countries in southern Africa unless they, too, imposed sanctions against Zimbabwe. This led Benjamin Mkapa, then president of Tanzania, to complain that African members of the British Commonwealth were enduring ‘a bombardment for an alliance against Mugabe’. - * The European Union imposed ‘smart’ sanctions against Zimbabwe, refusing to allocate visas for travel in EU countries to Mugabe and his officials and freezing all of their economic assets in Europe. - Finally, the continued media demonization of Robert Mugabe and Zanu as the sole causation of all problems in Zimbabwe is rather rediculous at best and does a gross disservice to solving the problems facing the country. - Considering that at least half the nation voted for either the ruling or opposition party, honest diplomacy with a true consideration of all factors is the only solution.

What about the $400million Anglo-American Corp investment in the next month or so??? Get your facts right guy before making sweeping assertions..as you can see the usual bozos that have been active on the other forums trying to convince the gullible that there are sanctions against zimbabwe have fallen silent since this news broke...I will give them that at least..they have got an ounce or two of shame as they realise they can no longer bleat on about sanctions in the face of contradictory evidence.

"punitive monetary actions taken by American and England. " and China and South Africa... Just to make sure you include everyone. Hate for those to bad boys to miss out on the fun.

as for the media bombardment against Mugabe, what do you expect to happen? You cant have people being murdered daily, beated, candidates abducted and murdered etc etc and for no one to notice. You cant tell me if that happened in any other country, the same media bombardment would happen.

I do agree with you though, "Considering that at least half the nation voted for either the ruling or opposition party, honest diplomacy is the only solution."

Allow me to correct you there nix...ALL its citizens are BILLIONAIRES!! Give them a few more weeks and they will be TRILLIONARIES and so forth and so forth..LOL

hééé my brothers in zimbabwe,do u people want this ditator to stay? what a sheam. mugabe have to go infact he is not the only dictator in afrrica, am a cameroonian i live in douala cameroon do u no what that is also happening here in my country well let the world pull out this 6 dictators PAUL BIYA. MUGABE.IDRISS.MBONGO.NGEMA.BISSAOU THIS POEPLE ARE NOT PRESIDENT BUT THIEFS. BETTER ZIMBABWE THAN CAMEROON WHERE POEPLE ARE DEING BUT THE WORLD KEEP QUIT. WELL GOD TIME IS THE BEST.

one would have thought that Mugabe messing up his economy would be self-inflicted "economics induced regime change" This was way before "Caucasian" nations saw there was an issue that so far "negroid" nations have no power or will to do anything about. You are so blinded that you don't realise that hardly any nation in the world still sees Mugabe as this great African icon. It's not just "white" nations. It's even the black leaders in those white nations (including the next (possibly) black president of this white USA. Get your head out of the sand you brainwashed nutcase. does everything has to be black us versus white them. Come on man, there are people suffering and you tow his party line. Stop reading The Herald.

Is that why China and South Africa have also refused to lend money to Zimbabwe? I think you need to find out why China hasnt lend money to Zim, and let us all know. And you also cant have free and fair elections with people being murdered for who they vote for.

JB and company spend their lives with blinkers on. Is it any wonder their countries are in such shambles. They are oh so wise and think they know better than those who govern the affairs of billions of their people when thy can't even manage a few millions (and counting down) of their own.

Can we get back to the FACTS of 80% unemployment, 1,000,000% inflation and 30% of the population of Zimbabwe living outside it's borders?

ZANU-PF/Mugabe has "achieved", in the words of Nelson Mandela, "A tragic failure of leadership"! Does anyone want to argue the wisdom of Nelson Mandela? Phiri? Kuba? Anyone? Does anyone doubt that Mr. Mandela would have been happy/ectstatic to inherit South Africa in the state that Mr. Mugabe found Zimbabwe in 19080?

A country once the breadbasket of Africa, a net-exporter relegated to a net-importer of foodstuffs, a country where a secrecy of the ballot-box no longer applies, a country where freedom of conscience no longer applies. What can ZANU-PF/Mugabe fear from a free election when they have so nobly served the people of Zimbabwe under their stewardship?

ZANU-PF/Mugabe has only delivered independence from white-rule, nothing else! It is one thing to lead a laberation, it is quite another to govern for the benefit of all liberated persons. ZANU-PF/Mugabe has failed in that and, to them, the PEOPLE of Zimbabwe, have had the temerity to renounce them!

Sadly, we are far from the end-game. Mugabe cannot rule Zimbabwe now with the MDC in control of parliament. His only option is too disband parliament, for which the people of Zimbabwe, and the world, will call him to account.

The game is being played into "injury-time", but even if Mugabe prevails in the travesty that is the "run-off" he will be unable to govern, and the MDC dominated parliament will continually "nip at the heels" of the ZANU-PF/Mugabe establishment until they are rendered feeble.

A change is going to come, just not within the timeframe we all hoped an prayed it would come within! The FACTS do not support the continuation of the current regime!

Kjrs120, awt.ind, Glyph, mindpower and some western imitators seem to be very mind-numbing, after having received loads of examples of what sanctions are and their effects to ordinary men still can’t get it. I wish no one brings this issue for progress’ sake. The idiocy of monotonously denying is against progressive thinking.
