As soon as someone has something bad to say you immediately attack the messenger. Theres just so many messengers to attack at the moment. Surely that tells you something?
Raila Odinga has no moral right to attack Zimbabwe in the manner he is doing and is it now a matter of Southern Africa vs East Africa"s Raila and Mlisho. Why are you being used by the British,don"t you have the brains to think on your own. Its a disgrace to hear Brown saying he will tell African leaders to disown one of their own and they do exactly that.So you are told of what to do and you comply even on things that undermine your being independent from former colonial masters.Are they still your masters in matters of Africa"s independent thinking and vision. Chama Cha Mapinduzi, ANC,SWAPO,FRELIMO & MPLA remember you are next targets on this grant Westminister Foundation project to dislodge all liberation movement governments in Southern Africa.Mlisho don"t just get orders like that from the West,you are a Head of State of an important African country and not a Colonel in the army who always get order
Hey Icho! Raila Odinga is now in some pretty illustrious company. Apart from the UN Secretary General, the UN Security Council (which includes South Africa, China and Russia), the Chairman of SADC, the President of the ANC, the SADC Troika of Tanzania, Angola and Swaziland, and the President of Senegal; he has no been joined by no less a person than Mandela.
Are they also being used by the British?
When you say that it is now a matter of Southern Africa vs East Africa's Raila and Mlisho; exactly what countries in Southern Africa do you think are still behind Mugabe? Only Malawi has remained silent; all of the rest have stated that a free and fair election is not possible in the environment that exists in Zimbabwe today. When will Mugabe listen to them?
Icho, explain why Mugabe kills, tortures, beats and otherwise intimidates his people. Quit trying to shift the focus to the Western powers who really have no influence in Africa anylonger. Mugabe makes the Rhodesian Front absolutely attractive. Explain that.
Katz, most of us find it strange that this website and other "anglo" media outlets are using commentators from Kenya. Strange, because at this point in time we cannot say the flawed poll in Kenya, the aftermath and Unite gov't mean the end of problems in Kenya. I doubt whether the problems are over in Kenya. So, it is surprising that Kenyan politicians and journalists are being used to provide advise to Zimbabweans when they are not out completely from their problems. Should the blind be leading the newly blind? I do not think so! I for one I'm suspicious of this and hence I can understand when some view this as an example of classical anglo-propaganda. It real does not make sense. Kenya had more death and movement during their elections than Zimbabwe. Anglo media (BBC, telegraph, mail & Guradian etc) real have not provided a sense of truthfulness on the sense of the way forward for Zimbabwe or a sense that they can be trusted. SADC was largely part of the British empire, but one does not get the sense that, any SADC country want to consulate with the UK! Surely, if UK had the best interest of Southern africa, we could see and sense that! But alas! anglos have become our enemies by default! Most of us have become suspicious of anglos.
Raila Odinga, please shut up,do not comment in any way about Zimbabwe and concentrate on repatriating you displaced in order for you to come into office thru the back door, our hands are very dirty.Its really you who is a disaster to the Kenyan population. You came into office thru the back door, that cannot happen in Zimbabwe. You are a British imperial zealot,so leave us alone we Pan Africanists to fight colonial domination.Remember Kenya sold out on Zimbabwe, South Africa & Namibia during a CTES conference when you burnt your ivory in order to please the West when they did not want us to sell our ivory. Now you are at it again.Be real Black and not Black outside but white inside.
